Magic Minigame: Base Race

• 2 Players • 3 Packs • 10 minutes

Objective:

Competition among treasure hunters on Zendikar is fierce. Find your opponent's base camp before they find yours!

If both revealed cards are Creatures/Artifact Creatures, the card with the higher toughness wins and remains face up; the loser is discarded. If they tie, the attacker wins.

Legendary Creatures/Planeswalkers always win against nonlegendary creatures. When they battle each other, the higher toughness or loyalty wins. If they tie, the attacker wins.

If either of the revealed cards is an Instant/Sorcery/Enchantment, discard both revealed cards. (Other effects still happen.)
