Pvp, who goes first?

[yaladilae]

Trying to see if i can solve this one

Typical 2 rush deck, PvP result is often determined on who goes first, because the one who goes first will probably win by "1 turn"

Anyway, to solve this, i purpose this change

Say A vs B, A goes first

On the very first turn, player A will take damage equal to total cost of the cards played

So Turn 1 graboid x2 = 6 damage (3 cost each graboid), turn 1 minor phoenix x 3 = 6 damage (2cost each phoenix), turn 1 improve dusk is 4 damage (dusk cost 4), turn 1 silence = 2 damage (upped)

I think this will balance the problem a bit

Any thoughts?

Current balance:
The player ,who wins coin toss, plays the first card.
The player, who loses coin toss ,draws the first card.

Current balance:
The player who wins coin toss plays the first card.
The player, who loses coin toss draws the first card.

I am aware of that, but i really think thats not enough...

Honestly, I don't see a problem with the current balance system, since rush vs. rush is only a very small proportion of pvp games.  Furthermore, having the first draw can benefit many non-rush decks, specifically those looking to combo.

The biggest problem is that drawing first also has the advantage for deckouts. With equal deck size winning the coin toss makes you win, which might even make it more profitable for the second player not to draw a card first, not certain about that, though.
