82/100

Mixed in 2HG — hits each opponent, but team anthem.

  • +22
    Hits each opponent

    There are two opponents in 2HG, so every 'each opponent' clause resolves twice against a single shared life total.

  • +14
    Damage to each opponent

    Drain and burn that reads 'each opponent' comes off one shared 60-life total, so the printed number doubles.

  • −4
    Team anthem

    Anthems only pump creatures you control — your teammate's board is untouched, so they're worse than they look.

Ratings start at a neutral 50 and are adjusted by rules derived from 2HG's structure — shared 60 life, shared turns, two opponents. They'll be recalibrated against real play rates once teams start submitting decklists.

Oracle text

When Sauron enters, gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap it. It gains haste until end of turn. {1}{B}{R}: Creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn. Each opponent loses 2 life.
