How would you like to change the rules on going first/second?

A review of current rules:

For the player going first:
1. Energy zone does not generate energy on turn 1. (Note: The player going first can still attach energy through other ways, such as Misty.)
2. May attack on turn 1.
3. Earliest evolve comes on turn 3 (2nd turn of the player going first).

For the player going second:
1. Energy zone generates energy starting on turn 2 (1st turn of the player going second).
2. First attack is allowed on turn 2.
3. Earliest evolve comes on turn 4 (2nd turn of the player going second).

    I wouldn't change it for now... give the game more time, lets see what the coming sets will add to the game.

    The person going first should draw an extra card.

    I think the person going first should be able to attach an energy, but not be able to attack.

    It does generally feel better to go second, but I think that's largely due to the kinds of cards dominating the meta rely heavily on being ahead on the energy curve. If we see new cards printed with powerful abilities, I think we will see interesting deck compositions that can make better use of turn one and the faster evolution curve.
