Card Text

• 2 Players • 3 Packs • 10 minutes <br> <strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> <br> Battle your way through your opponent's forces and emerge from the siege victorious! <br> <strong>GET READY:</strong> <br> Open three packs and give one land to each player. Then remove and remaining land cards and cards without <em>Magic</em> card backs. Shuffle the remaining cards together and deal 11 cards to each player. <br> Each player then looks at their cards and arranges them face down in a <strong>4x3 grid</strong> opposite their opponent. The completed play area should be <strong>4x6</strong> with no extra spaces. The first player to finish their grid goes first. <br> <strong>LET'S PLAY:</strong> <br> Players take turns moving one of their cards one space either vertically or horizontally—not diagonally, and not onto a space occupied by another card they own. <br> You can use your turn to move a card safely onto an empty space. Moving a card onto a space occupied by an opponent's card starts a <strong>battle</strong>! Reveal both cards and do the following for each card type: <br> If both revealed cards are <strong>Creatures/Artifact Creatures/Vehicles</strong>, the card with higher toughness wins and remains face up; the loser is discarded. If they tie, the attacker wins. <br> <strong>Legendary Creatures</strong> always win against nonlegendary creatures. When legends battle each other, the one with the higher toughness wins. If they tie, the attacker wins. <br> If either of the revealed cards is an <strong>Instant/Sorcery/Enchantment</strong>, discard both revealed cards. (Other effects still happen.) <br> If one of the revealed cards is an <strong>Artifact that's not a Creature/Vehicle</strong>, the player who owns it discards it and takes an extra turn. If both revealed cards are Artifacts, only the attacker gets the extra turn. <br> <strong>TO WIN:</strong> <br> When a Land is revealed in battle, its owner loses the game. When one land attacks another, the attacking Land wins the game.
