Tug of War Rules Text & Legality
Players play a subgame starting at 5 life and with up to three permanent cards with different names from their main-game library on the battlefield. As the subgame ends, the winner chooses one of the cards they put onto the battlefield as the subgame began and puts it onto the battlefield rather than shuffling it into their library.

Tug of War Rulings
- Oct 7, 2022
After subgame mulligans are complete, the starting player puts the cards they set aside onto the battlefield. Each other player in turn order does the same.
- Oct 7, 2022
After the subgame ends, each player shuffles their cards from the subgame to re-form their main-game library (and Attraction deck, if applicable), and they return to the main game from the point they left off, with Tug of War finishing resolving and the winner of the subgame getting their reward. No counters, stickers, or other effects from the subgame move back into the main game.
- Oct 7, 2022
As players are shuffling their main-game libraries to form their subgame libraries, they should set aside the cards they wish to have on the subgame battlefield as the subgame begins.
- Oct 7, 2022
If a player has fewer than seven cards in their main-game library, they’ll lose the subgame as it begins, regardless of how many mulligans that player takes.
- Oct 7, 2022
If any abilities trigger during this process, they’ll be put on the stack the next time a player gets priority, usually during the subgame’s first upkeep.
