Lost City
Ok people - this one is going to be short,
sweet, and to the point….promise! Lost city is a
great card for all those brotherhood decks out
there – especially after you run out of the
effect from The New Brother Hood. Combo this
card with Avalon Space Station and you have just
created a bad situation for your opponent to
deal with. Granted this card is not for everyone
and sometimes it can get tough to find room for
this card in your deck, but what have you got to
lose?
Ratings:
Brotherhood constructed deck – 3.5/5.0 …..a
boost is a boost no matter how you get it
Limited – 1.5/5.0 …the probability of getting
more than one of the same brotherhood character
in limited format isn’t that good

Lost City - If a
Brotherhood character you control would become
powered-up, that character gets +3 ATK and +3
DEF for this attack instead. A threshold cost of
1. Kind of redundant in a fast beatdown deck.
Many of the cards you would play such as Savage
Beatdown will give you a +5 ATK instead. So why
reduce it to +3? The + 3 defense is kind of nice
for those other cards that lower your defense
while pumping up attack *cough * Acrobatic Dodge
*cough.
This card is best used when discarding a
character of the same name to power up. Instead
of the +1/+1 you would get +3/+3. This effect is
great early game. This card is not too bad in
Limited either supposing you are drafting
Brotherhood. Anything that can give you a +3/+3
in draft is decent.
Constructed: - 3/5
Limited: - 3.5/5

Lost City --
Its hard to talk badly about a card that is the
central piece to an extremely popular /
successful deck (Lost Brotherhood). The benefit
that Lost City gives is simply amazing. At the
cost of one card, you get a better effect than
It's Clobberin' Time, which we all know is a
really good card (only for Fantastic Four,
obviously). You can also flip it early, meaning
from nearly the beginning of the game, your
opponent has to play around the assumption that
you have a power-up ready in hand, which in turn
gives you a slight edge. Mix this card with
Avalon Space Station and the Brotherhood are a
force to be reckoned with.
In limited, you will rarely double up on
multiple characters, meaning this card is pretty
worthless. Unless you have duplicates of at
least three or four characters, don't even
consider playing this card.
