As Axis said, it depends on what you do with your first turn. You get the chance to hit them when they don't have a Monster up in their Center to defend themselves, and even if it IS blocked, they still used up a card to do that. it doesn't devalue the turn. And sure, your opponent can just wipe out your monster, but that's always going to be happening. xD Size 3s, while very powerful, need to be played carefully, and that's what I think a lot of people are missing in this early stage of the game.
