Radiated Brute

The spreading blight on the continent of Praetoria twisted both the land and its people. Plants and animals were the first to become corrupted. Fungus sprouted from vegetation and gave them sentience. Animals grew extra limbs, heads, and grew to extraordinary sizes.

Then the people fell ill. Some thought it was from the plague brought about by Doctor Blight. Others thought perhaps it was from the poisonous gases that seeped from the fissures near the volcano.

Whatever it was, those who survived the sickness were changed. They mutated, grew stronger, and were filled with an uncontrollable rage. Some were unable to control that rage and went on murderous rampages. Others fought to maintain their sanity long enough to protect their family, friends, and neighbors from themselves. They fled into the Jade Thicket, where they became as feral as the wild animals of the continent.

The people of Praetoria referred to them as Radiated Brutes.

The Radiated Brute is 2nd line king of the Fire splinter. Because of it's Reach ability it's a great card to place behind the Living Lava or Antoid Platoon. With it's 2 attack and high health it can even take a few hits and there for become your replacement tank. If you're like playing with Fire, this is a must play card in your battles.

And for $0.91 for the gold foil, there is no excuse to not pick one of the market.

The rule-set of this battle:

If i can choose between life or fire, my choice goes to fire 9 times out of 10. So for this battle i chose Fire in combination with Tarsa as summoner.

As a tank, depending on the available mana, my choice goes to Antoid Plantoon, or like in this case the Living Lava. Because of its 3 melee attack, defense, high health and the shield buff, this is nearly a no brainer.

In second spot, the Radiated brute because of his reach ability. And because of his 2 Melee attack, it can still hurt your opponent to if they choose to play a Shielded tank in combination with a Demoralize buffed monster.

Then comes the Chaos Agent. Specifically in this position to act a bait for opponents with opportunity. Otherwise they would attack the Serpentine Spy and take him out in the first round.

Also in center, the Serpentine Spy. Great attack and speed, but low on health. That's why i add the bait card.

As backing i added the Tenyii Striker. He can take a few hits, has sneak and 2 melee so a great backing card. As closer i chose Djinn Apprentice for the 2 magic attack which work great against tanks.
