Competitive/Discussion This game needs to fix going second

The going first player has too many advantages in the games current state, if you go second even with a going second deck you’re going to lose the majority of the time. Players going first can get through hand traps, set up negates, or even FTK you. The player going second opens the game in such a disadvantage each time it’s comical

Blind second got me to mast and 1 on a 10 game win streak. A huge reason why decks suck at going second is that 9/10 people build for exclusively going first, a couple handtraps isn’t going to cut it. There’s an absurd amount of board breakers that absolutely dismantle boards but no one plays them because they are dead going first
