Gains value in 2HG: protects a teammate.

Protects a teammate
'Target player' and 'target permanent' effects can be aimed at your teammate — you can't do that in a duel.

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

Kicker {1} (You may pay an additional {1} as you cast this spell.) Target creature you control gets +0/+3 until end of turn. If this spell was kicked, that creature also gains hexproof until end of turn. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.)
