There is no sideboarding, but you may have a 5 card ANTE-BOARD. There are NO draws, if a draw occurs, there is to be an Orb Flip-off to decide the winner. *ALTERNATE ANTE IDEA: INSTEAD OF THE RANDOM CARD FROM EACH PLAYER'S DECK YOU MIGHT CONSIDER HAVING A DEDICATED ANTE PILE, EACH HAVING A STACK OF CARDS YOUR OPPONENT CAN PICK A CARD FROM, OR RANDOMLY TAKE A CARD FROM TO ANTE.
