What is the correct setup order for Riftbound games, particularly regarding when battlefields are revealed and when turn order is determined?
Ruling: The setup order for every game is: Legend > CC > Battlefields (revealed based on mode of play) > Turn order > Draw/Mulligan. Battlefields are always revealed before turn order is determined.
Sequence:
- Reveal legends
- Choose CC (Command Center)
- Pick and reveal battlefields simultaneously (in 1v1 Bo3)
- Determine turn order (losing player from previous game decides in games 2 and 3)
- Draw cards and resolve mulligans
Nuances:
- In games 2 and 3 of a Bo3, players know who lost and who will pick turn order, but not what they'll pick until after battlefields are revealed
- Players can and do plan around this information
- This sequence applies to every game, every time
