Simple Feature Request

When you play the physical card game, the basic at the start isn't so random… so when the game starts, can we not click on the starer card space and then select from a couple of options? At present, I know how my game is going to go (win vs lose) based on the first set of cards that come out, if it's a basic that requires multiple energies to retreat then I'm immediately screwed or hoping for Leaf.

If on go 1, we can select which basic (even if not from all basics, just out of 2 or 3 at random), then I don't have to spend the first few goes wasting energy just to retreat for another starter card.

I feel like this is a simple change which would benefit everyone, no?
