In top cut for competitive Riftbound tournaments, does the higher seed choose to go first/second, or is it still random?

Answer

Ruling: According to the current Riftbound Tournament Rules, turn order in top cut is random, not chosen by the higher seed.

Nuances:

  • Some tournaments use modified rules where the higher seed picks turn order in game 1, but this must be announced ahead of time
  • There is community discussion about whether higher seed choice (as in Magic: The Gathering) should become the standard
  • Tournament organizers can implement modified rules giving higher seed the choice as long as announced sufficiently in advance
