Answer

Ruling: In all games of matched play (games 1, 2, and 3), you follow the same order for setup, with the only difference being that in games 2 and 3, the loser of the previous game gets to choose turn order.

Sequence:

  • Reveal legends and chosen champions
  • Reveal battlefields
  • Shuffle
  • Determine turn order (in games 2 and 3, the loser of the previous game chooses at this point)
  • Draw opening hand and mulligan

Nuances:

  • Sideboarding happens between games 1/2 and 2/3 before the setup process begins
