Answer

Ruling: Battlefields are chosen secretly and revealed simultaneously before determining turn order. Turn order is then determined using any fair random method agreed upon by all players.

Sequence:

  • Choose legends
  • Choose champions
  • Choose battlefields secretly and reveal them simultaneously
  • Determine turn order using any fair random method
  • Draw cards
  • Mulligan (starting with the player who has first turn)

Nuances:

  • The Proving Grounds rulebook had a different method (flipping battlefields to determine first player) but this was designed for onboarding and is not the official rule
  • Using battlefield flips as the random method is valid as long as battlefields were already revealed before making that determination
  • For games 2 and 3, battlefields are revealed before the loser of the previous game decides whether to go first or second
