2HG Rating
45/100
Mixed in 2HG — cheap interaction, but incremental lifegain.
- +6Cheap interaction
Turns are shared and fast in 2HG. One- and two-mana answers let you hold up interaction without losing tempo.
- −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.
- −6Duel-shaped card
Cards that reference 'the opponent' or single-combat framing lose reach when the table has two opponents.
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
Choose two — • Target player mills three cards, then you return a land card from your graveyard to your hand. • Destroy target noncreature, nonland permanent with mana value 2 or less. • Target creature gets -3/-1 until end of turn. • Target opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
