2HG Rating
33/100
Loses value in 2HG: symmetrical card advantage, incremental lifegain.
- −12Symmetrical card advantage
Shared draw feeds two opponents and only one teammate. The math is against you in 2HG.
- −5Incremental lifegain
60 shared life is a bigger pool than 20, so small lifegain is proportionally weaker — and it's the same pool your teammate is spending.
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.
