Answer

Ruling: You can choose your battlefield after seeing your opponent's legend, but your chosen champion cannot be changed - it is part of your deck registration and must be declared before seeing your opponent's deck.

Sequence:

  • Step 1: Reveal legends
  • Step 2: Separate chosen champion (already determined at deck registration)
  • Step 3: Choose battlefield (based on what you now know about opponent)
  • Step 4: Shuffle
  • Step 5: Determine turn order
  • Step 6: Draw 4 and mulligan

Nuances:

  • In tournament play, your chosen champion must be the same for every game 1 of a match
  • Between games in a best-of-3, you can sideboard your chosen champion from either your main deck or sideboard
  • In casual play, these restrictions don't apply
