In a summoner skirmish, what are the rules on performing ABCD (Awaken, Begin, Channel, Draw) steps at the start of turn, including: 1) Does order matter? 2) Can you do steps in any order with hold battlefield triggers? 3) What happens if you forget to awaken a legend and realize mid-turn?

Answer
Ruling: You must perform ABCD steps in the correct order (Awaken, Begin, Channel, Draw). Holding battlefield triggers occur at the end of the Begin phase. If you skip a step and move to a later one, judges may not allow you to go back.
Sequence:
- Awaken
- Begin (hold battlefield triggers happen at end of this phase)
- Channel
- Draw
Nuances:
- Shortcutting is technically allowed if you explain it once and give your opponent time to react, but it's best practice to follow proper order to avoid issues
- At casual events like Nexus Nights, players are more lenient about shortcutting
- At competitive events, judges have ruled that skipping steps (like channeling before drawing, or drawing before performing Begin phase triggers) means you cannot go back
- If you forget to awaken a legend and catch it mid-turn, both players would likely receive a warning (the Kaisa player for General Error, the opponent for Failure to Maintain Game State) and play continues
