Answer

Ruling: Players first select and reveal battlefields, then determine turn order (via dice roll/coinflip), then draw cards and mulligan.

Sequence:

  • Select battlefields
  • Roll dice/coinflip to determine who chooses turn order
  • Reveal battlefields
  • Choose turn order (who goes first/second)
  • Draw cards and mulligan

Nuances:

  • For tournaments requiring decklist submission, you cannot change your deck/sideboard after submission
  • Sideboarding is only allowed between games in a best-of-three match (between game 1 and 2, and between game 2 and 3)
  • Game 1 must always use the deck as submitted on the decklist
