Rulings

  • Even though your starting hand size is increased by one, nothing else about the pregame procedure changes.
  • A Blood token is an artifact with "{1}, {T}, Discard a card, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
  • A Clue token is an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
  • A Food token is an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life."
  • A Map token is an artifact with "{1}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Target creature you control explores. Activate only as a sorcery. (Reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it’s a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)"
  • A Treasure token is an artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color."
