Subject: Going First vs. Going Second - Jacob
Hey everyone...who bothers to read this, anyway.
This is my first post here on pojo.com, so go easy on me.

OK...There is good sides to both starting first and starting second. Most who read the rules would think right away "Oh, I'll go second so I can have a hand advantage". But, think, if you go second, your opponent will get a mana advantage, and might summon a monster before you can. Also, if you go second, by the time you get a decent monster out, your opponent will have enough mana to smack it next turn with a {Tornado Flame} or {Death Smoke}, depending on which deck he/she has.

Overall, I would think going first would be the better choice, but everone has their own opinion, I suppose.
