Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your first session, lay out the two provided playboards on a flat, stable surface. Each player should take a 20-card training deck and shuffle it thoroughly. Ensure the Spindown life counters are set to 20 to track your starting totals. Because these cards are standard size, they are compatible with most standard MTG card sleeves, which is recommended to protect the card edges from wear during repeated shuffling. Store the cards in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture warping, and avoid bending the corners during play to ensure they remain usable in future games.
