On PC/Steam it tells you if you are going first or second in the same text box that it asks you if you want to mulligan or not.

Chancellor of the Spires is one of the worst cards in the deck. With only two of them, you are almost never going to get one in your starting hand. If you do get it in your starting hand, it will just sit there. If you get to cast it, it will get burned immediately.

In real Magic there is a coin toss (or whatever), but the winner of the toss then chooses whether to go first or second. In Duels they have just assumed you will always pick to go first. This is something else many people have requested be changed.

I'm surprised at the statistic that going second wins 55%. I've usually found in my experience going first is an advantage. When I started playing many years ago, the player who went first drew a card as well! And then played Ivory Tower ....

I have written several guides to help new DoTP players here, move to the first post to start reading. They are also in Wordpress format here. The principles involved should still be useful for Duels 2013!

Find other DoTP players - a database of friendly players, find a match or post your name here to be added to the list! I'll add a D13 section if anyone would like.

Ask a rules question - ask anything about DoTP, Magic in general, or to check out if you've found a bug by asking if the rules are being followed.

Community thread for general chatter in the DoTP part of the forum!

If your deck can take advantage of the momentum of going first, it is better than drawing a card.
If your deck is slow however, drawing an extra card might be more useful.

First is normally right because if the following dynamic.

Aggro vs aggro = want to go first
Aggro vs control = want to go first
Control vs aggro = want to go first
Control vs control = want to go second

Indeed. In DotP be the first involves having an advantage regularly... Although there are times (usually when you have one or two of mana in your starting hand) prefer to try to steal a another.

It all depends on your deck build but normally control wants to draw and aggro wants to go first. 

If my deck has lots of mass removal like damnation, pernicious deed etc, I'd rather have the opponent play first. Extra card and more card in the field to destroy after Is what I intend to achieve by going second.

aggro like goblins or white weenie etc. obviously wants to go first. 

funny how in paper magic tourneys decks of control vs control would toss a coin to whoever wants to go second. They actually don't want to play first.
