Some quick thoughts on the rule change regarding higher seeding:
I'm generally very positive towards the change, but, the decision to go first or second must be made BEFORE you look over your opponents deck list. This seems counterproductive, as I thought the whole idea of open deck lists was to even the playing field. Why force one of the most important decisions to be made before that happens? Knowing your opponents 60, or even just the archetype, before the match still gives you an unintended advantage reserved for the players with a lot of friends at the venue
In my match it obviously didn't matter at all, as I was beyond helpless in that matchup regardless, just curious on the communitys thoughts
