2HG Rating
96/100
Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, team-wide edict, symmetrical discard.
- +22Hits each opponent
There are two opponents in 2HG, so every 'each opponent' clause resolves twice against a single shared life total.
- +12Team-wide edict
Forcing both opponents to sacrifice strips two boards for one card — the classic 2HG blowout.
- +12Symmetrical discard
'Each opponent discards' is a two-for-one in 2HG. Syphon Mind and friends jump several tiers here.
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.

The True Scriptures
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter.)
I — For each opponent, destroy up to one target creature or planeswalker that player controls.
II — Each opponent discards three cards, then mills three cards.
III — Put all creature cards from all graveyards onto the battlefield under your control. Exile this Saga, then return it to the battlefield (front face up).
