Resource phase at start of game

By DukeWard, in Rules questions & answers

I'm not finding a clear answer in the rulebook so thought I would ask here. After drawing your initial setup hand of 6 cards, do you then draw one additional card at the start of the resource phase, effectively starting the game with 7 cards?

Thanks in advance.

You are correct.

The drawing of six cards is part of setup (step 5). If you want, you can take a single mulligan (shuffle and draw another six).

When the game begins the first round you then have the first resource phase and get to draw another card.

Thanks for the response.
