Going first used to be a bigger advantage since you would draw on your first turn. Also mulligan rules were less flexible so you were often stuck with mediocre opening hands. Remember this was also back when you could play Sol Ring and 4 Strip Mines. Each first turn Black Vise could consistently deal 7-9 damage, a good rate even by today's standards.

Remember that Legacy basically inherited Type 1's B/R list.
