Regarding anyone who shares Igneous' reservations about the prospect of winning twice in a row without being quite so courteous as he to provide an explanation, I initially felt the same way before Skurge pointed out to me that to win two consecutive duels when the initiative alternates between the two players, you must win both with the initiative and without it, so although an odd number of duels indicates one player had an extra initiative, it does not indicate unfairness as an extra initiative has no bearing on how the match is won. As long as you win when you go first, you will not lose a match. If you lose after having gone first you must face that you have been bested since the first turn would be enough to win all else being equal.
