When the loser decides whether to go first or second, is it before or after they see battlefields?

Ruling: The loser chooses turn order after battlefields are revealed.

Sequence:

  • Reveal legend
  • Reveal chosen champion
  • Choose and reveal battlefields
  • Choose turn order
  • Draw opening hands
  • Mulligan

Nuances:

  • This sequence applies to every game of Riftbound, including after a round loss in best of 3
  • Battlefields can be kept unrevealed until both players have chosen so neither gets an advantage during selection
  • The battlefield zone is a public zone, so battlefields are placed face up when put there (this is when they are revealed)
