I don't know if you've played CF for five days or five years. It doesn't really matter. It's clear that you do not understand the dynamics of the game well enough yet to make intelligent comments about its balance.

Play a fire giant anti-paladin for a week. You might think it's better than d-elf a-p; maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I can't see any reason to say: dark elves may not be anti-paladins, but that doesn't mean they're going to be the 'best' at it, either. No one is going to hold a gun to your head and force you to play a dark elf if you think they suck.

If after a week of fire a-p you still have no idea about why a dark-elf has some noteworthy advantages over it (regardless of whether you think those advantages are persuasive enough to play d-elf) you may want to take up a different game, such as checkers.
