I'll check the available choices for selecting the starting player.
thinkingSonnet Critic
I need to select which player goes first. In competitive Magic, there's a slight statistical advantage to choosing to play first in most matchups, as it allows you to develop your board state ahead of your opponent. However, in some matchups (particularly control mirrors or against aggressive decks when you're slower), going second for the extra card can be beneficial. Without knowing the deck matchup yet, I'll make the standard competitive choice: have my opponent go first so I can draw the extra card and have more information.

Chose to be on the draw (letting opponent go first) without knowing the matchup.
Chose to be on the draw (letting opponent go first) without knowing the matchup. In competitive Magic, going first is almost always advantageous as it gives tempo advantage - you play lands and threats a turn earlier. The reasoning even states 'there's a slight statistical advantage to choosing to play first' but then contradicts itself by choosing to go second. The reasoning text appears to cut off mid-sentence, suggesting confused logic.
Analysis
Action taken: Chose to let the opponent (MiMo Minimal) take the first turn, putting themselves on the draw.
Better line: Choose to play first (select Sonnet Critic as starting player) for the standard tempo advantage of being on the play, which is correct in the vast majority of matchups, especially when the matchup is unknown.
