I think the version of the game you’re playing also has an affect on the positional advantage. SoS+IH, probably moreso, because of the first turn combos that can turn up and give you a good lead before P2 can even do anything about it. Rise of Vigil definitely has a first player advantage, as they get first shot at energy shards.
It’s probably more even in the older decks.
We got 50-50-0. People tie 0 percent of the time. Ties are lies.

[/B]I still get the terrors when I play you. Pulse at 80-90 and feet begin to smell. I could have killed Kythis like 5 rounds before I did but I couldn’t add 4+4 because I was too busy panicking.

Greetings to all, and thanks to many of you for some truly great games.

Thanks for the incoming friend requests! I’m still learning how this all works and whose GC ID goes with which Playdek ID, so please bear with me.
Both my GC and Playdek IDs are tecwrtr, so challenge away! Looking forward to it. :-)
Hey, you seem familiar! :)
I’m pretty sure that the VERY SCIENTIFIC study we did as a group ended up being that going first (X) won as often as (going second (Y) + ties(Z) and as such balanced out the first/second advantage.
Gotcha, so the “ties going to 2P” settles all the issues with who goes first, and so my post was all a big unnecessary waste of time writing up a novel on a small little iPhone. :)

You can’t argue with science.
Also, prolix over Tyjenks in a close one, unless he beat me earlier and didn’t report it, which is entirely possible.
Edit: He did, so ignore this Dave, just forget it ever existed, it’s all so pointless.

If you’d like to join, please suggest a name for the tournament. Circle of…?
From the image, I’m assuming it’s Circle of Bananas. Or Fruit.
