Answer

Ruling: Yes, in 1v1 the starting player draws a card on their first turn. The rule that the starting player does NOT draw only applies to specific formats: FFA 3, FFA 4, and 2v2 Magma Chamber, which explicitly call out no card draw on the first turn.

Nuances:

  • By default, every player draws during the draw phase of their turn, including the first turn
  • The no-draw rule for the starting player only exists in the First Turn Process sections for 3-player, 4-player, and 2v2 Magma Chamber formats
  • 1v1 does not have this restriction since it's not mentioned in those specific format rules
