I would argue that starting with double the gauge and -2 life is better than starting with half the gauge and +2 life. Starting with 4 gauge more than makes up for the life deficit because you can go balls to the wall aggressive right away, where as having 12 life won't do you any good if you don't have the gauge to make your power plays.

Also, while I do get down to a single digit deck most of the time, it generally doesn't matter because I finish off my opponent that turn.
