In the family way…

When Lost Hemisphere first started out, it was li’l ole me. Before long, Spud signed on and provided us with a whole bunch of excellent articles, and together he and I (with the aid of silent partner, the Eponymous Pablo) gave you March Madness and the Summer of Love.

It was only a matter of time before Lost Hemisphere’s family expanded.

I nudged the door open by browbeating Aaron “Onyxweapon” Mead into writing a weekly deckbuilding collumn based on whatever wackiness tickled my fancy on a Monday evening.

Now, it looks like some more feet have wedged their way in the door.

Over the coming weeks, don’t be surprised if you see a new writer or two dispensing their wit and wisdom in these hallowed halls… just go gentle on ‘em, it’s their first time being Lost

Marauding at turn three

Now that you’ve all had a break from my Marauder ramblings, it’s time for a followup.

Spud, Pablo and I occasionally discuss combos and indulge in a little theoretical rumination. The topic of discussion yesterday was, in a BYOT format, attaining that critical first out-of-combat stun for the Marauders, to bring all of their abilities online.

Basically, we determined three main avenues of obtaining said stun for turn three.

1) 2-drop Gambit, Three Card Monte, and discards
2) 4-drop Gambit, shifted with four counters
3) 3-drop Riptide

Now, each has its pros and cons, and when it barrels down to it a lot will depend on personal preference, but it remains to be seen which will prove ‘better’ in testing.
