Hello this is my first time i did this . Anyways, i've heard alot of complaints about who goes first and who goes second being unfair and i feel the same way but i thought of a way that it could be solved. Instead of someone going first and second, how about each side chooses their spells separately. So lets say there was a who did power nova, and a who had done frost giant that same turn, the down side would be that wouldnt get a chance to "react" and do the spell anyways making it weak. So my version would be like the is choosing his/her spell,which would be power nova, while the just waits. Then the gets to choose his/her spell while balance waits which would be something to get rid of the weakness. So this would take longer, but it would make it more fair for going first and second. I've been told that i over explain things way too much so i hope people can understand this. So in conclusion, instead of being:
wizard A and wizard B choose spell at same time
it would be :
Wizard A choose spell. Spell activated
Wizard B choose spell. Spell activated
Back and forth

Third page back, there is a Thread by ChickenHawk that already says this. Go ahead and look at it, it already has a lot of insight/arguments about this

Interestingly enough,
I found the exact same idea as well by Seasnake in 2010 and Ghoststone back from May 31.

In other words, 3 people independently came up with the same idea in the past few months.
