I noticed you are online at the moment. Did your message queue clear itself? All of my messages disappeared on me while I was exploring the new setup.

Yes, they finally caught the game up to the current format. Unfortunately, that means the first-turn player does not get to draw a card. I can understand why they would do that given modern decks. However, I feel that doing so only further inhibits traditional/slower decks. When playing with one of these decks, you are already at a disadvantage so getting the first turn advantage really only levels the playing field. However, I suppose that could be intentional as it further increases the divide between competitive and non-competitive players. Thus requiring players to pay more to get the better cards.

As for me, I will still probably choose to go first; I'll have to see how my next few duels go.
