What is the correct sequence for setting up and starting a 1v1 game in Riftbound?
Ruling: Players reveal legends and champions first, then select battlefields (simultaneously in best of 3, randomly in best of 1), determine turn order, draw 4 cards, mulligan up to 2 cards in turn order, then the first player begins their turn.
Sequence:
- Each player reveals legend and chosen champion
- Each player selects a battlefield (in best of 3: set aside chosen battlefield and reveal simultaneously once both decided; in best of 1: select randomly)
- Determine turn order (typically roll dice, winner chooses to go first or second)
- Draw 4 cards
- In turn order, mulligan up to 2 cards (recycle them and draw as many as recycled)
- First player takes their first turn
Nuances:
- In best of 3 matches, after the first game you cannot choose a battlefield used in a previous game of that match
- Each subsequent game in a best of 3 requires selecting one of your remaining unused battlefields
