Each player opens their 6 packs and sets aside any cards without Magic backs, trying not to look at the rest of the cards. This becomes the player’s deck.

Beside each player is a stack of each basic land (Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest) which that player can use to play their land for the turn. At the beginning of the game, each player draws 6 cards.

Land cards drawn from the players deck gain this ability: Cycling 0 <i>(0, Discard this card: Draw a card.)<i> 

This format is typically played best of one instead of best of three.
