The Marshalling Fields After you announce a Terrain action: Once per battle, you may ignore any of its restrictions that are based on another Terrain being in play. After the first time each turn one of your Terrain actions resolves: Draw a card.

Am I correct in assuming that the "first time" trigger here means the first and ONLY the first terrain played by Marshalling Fields' controller will trigger the card draw?
I searched and did not find one specific instance of this question (which I'm going to assume is not as complicated as my playgroup is making it out to be) being asked or answered. any help is appreciated. =)

You are correct. Only the first terrain triggers the box's trait.
