Answer

Ruling: No, if two opponents flip up the same battlefield, play continues normally. There is no rule requiring a player to change their battlefield once it has been revealed.

Nuances:

  • A player can only use one copy of a battlefield in their deck
  • In team formats, a team as a whole can only use one copy of a battlefield between all team members
  • This applies even in mirror matches where both players might have the same battlefield as their only option

Does this answer look correct?
