Answer

Ruling: The setup order is: show Legend and Champion, pick battlefield, determine turn order, draw 4 cards, then mulligan if desired. In subsequent rounds of a best-of-3, skip the Legend/Champion reveal step.

Sequence:

  • Show Legend and then Champion
  • Pick battlefield
  • Determine turn order
  • Draw 4 cards
  • Mulligan if you want

Nuances:

  • In rounds 2 and 3 of a best-of-3, the Legend and Champion reveal step is skipped (they remain the same from round 1)

Does this answer look correct?
