First or Second?

[Fever]

So do you like to go first or second when you start off a duel and why? Some players just have an aggro deck so of course they want to go second so they can attack. Control builds want to go first so they can't let the opponent fall into all of their Traps. It depends on the build but what do you like?

I think it totally depends on the deck.

If you are starting "blind", I'd go first, to set up protection/field advantage.

hmmm like to go first specially when i used black feather deck

That's how it should be anyway. You are supposed to decide who goes first before you pick up your hand.

[Bakura_yami]

yeah 

[Fever]

Yeah I hate it when people look before they are supposed to. If you get all Traps of course you want to go first. >_>

[Heilos_Star]

I like to go first for some reason.

[Fever]

So you can have controooooooooooooooool.

First.   Set my **** up (like Skill Drain), and the opportunity to have a first (technically second) turn SD/AM is tantalizing...

o_o''' SD/AM' always been a standard Synchro Deck that instead controls, rather than goin' aggro.  Ironic...

[Fever]

SD/AM is a control deck. Of course you want to go first. So you can have controoooooooooool.

[Bakura_yami]

if i use SD/am  i like also to go first

[Fever]

Yeah me too so I can Summon Stardust Dragon first turn without fail then set Assault Mode Activate.

[Bakura_yami]

yeah ryt

[PkMn Trainer]

Set Starlight Road, Assault Mode Activate, Skill Drain, and Solemn Judgment.  Storm me, motherf**ker!

[Bakura_yami]

[DarkworldServant]

I like to go 2nd that way I can kinda tell what my opponent is useing and go from there.

[Fever]

Wow. My last post was in May.

Anyway, I think it depends on the deck.

[DarkworldServant]

Yeah your right and most of the time my decks are built to go second.

[PkMn Trainer]

All serious Duelists want to go first now.  Offensive Deck users want to get a powerful presence plus destructive effects ready to block any chances of fighting back.  Defensive Deck users want to restrict the opponent's moves from the start.  Going first may mean you'll always stay a step ahead.

You'd only want to go second if you had Dark Hole or somethin' like that.  Dark Hole will most likely be saved to put an end to a difficult field.  Unlike Heavy Storm where you could nail at least 2 easy.  This makes going second only good on rare occasions that do not quite count a Deck's strategy.


And holy crap, it's been a long time! o:
I think I was playing against either a DARK Synchro or DARK Zombie Deck.  Doesn't matter 'cause it he scooped! 8D

First = Control Deck

Second = Aggro Deck

[PkMn Trainer]

Can't be aggro when your opponent has their destruction down. -_-'''
