Setup & Mulligan

Build Your Deck

• Each main deck is 50 cards.
• Tier limits how many copies of a single card you can run:
  • Legendary: 1x
  • Primary: 2x
  • Secondary: 3x
• You may also bring an archive (a separate token deck of 1–50 tokens) for cards that create tokens during play.

Tip: DBS (Deck Balance Score) is used for matchmaking — but it’s optional in casual play. See 303.2 DBS and Deckbuilding for the details.

Decide Who Goes First

• Flip a coin. The winner picks who plays first.
• The player going second chooses whether realm 1 starts on their left or right.

Draw Your Starting Hand

Each player shuffles, then draws 7 cards.

Mulligan

• You may set up to 3 cards from your hand on the bottom of your deck (in any order), then draw that many.
• The first player mulligans first.
