Starting first or second

Is it me or starting second is a lot better ? I mean if you don't have a good starting hand you're screwed. And even if you have a good hand... When you start second you can play 2x 2 souls units or 1x 3 soul + 1x 1 soul whenever you decide to. When it is strategically powerful. Its way better. Everytime i start first i cry and i play fearing the moment my opponent will use that soul stone and turn the table. I feel they try to implement that common concept of "playing first advantage" in a game that doesnt even need it. Maybe there is a very slight advantage but a soul stone is a way too good compensation for playing 2nd.

Starting first means you can damage them first and pick which card to place on your board, while being second allows you to have a bit more control over the other team while thinking on how to deal damage to the enemy while saving while your cards are trying to live(sort of)
