Choose cards from up to 2 different Color Piles and add a certain amount of Basic Lands of any color.
Them, all players queue against each other, scoring the number of opponents defeated during the Battle
Phase. After that, the Buy Phase starts and players can upgrade their decks following the same process
of the beggining. When everyone is done, starts a new Battle Phase. This cycle repeats for 6 Rounds,
with the player who has most points at end winning the game!
Setup (Round 1)
Set aside a number of piles of 15 cards equal to double the amount of players + 2. Each pile must have 3
cards of each one of the five colors.
Players will have 2 oppotunities (called Selections) to pick piles and they'll alternate doing so. When a
player pick their first pile, they can choose up to 6 cards from that set to start the game with. If they
don't pick 6 cards in this Selection, they can pick a second pile to choose the remaining cards after all the
other players have went through their first Selection. At the end of each Selection of the Setup, the pile
picked is discarded and cannot be chosen again.
Once all players have 6 cards, they can choose 4 Basic Lands of any color to complete the deck.
Bounties
Each Round will have a set of Bounties that can be completed to gain Treasures. Treasures can be spent
