About Thunder Brute

Thunder Brute, Creature — cyclops, designed by Phill Simmer first released in Feb, 2014 in the set Born of the Gods. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.37.

Thunder Brute could be beneficial in a red aggressive deck that aims to quickly overwhelm the opponent with powerful creatures. Its ability to potentially gain haste upon entering the battlefield adds immediate pressure, while the Tribute mechanic provides a strategic decision for the opponent. However, there may be better options for a similar mana cost, such as Stormbreath Dragon, which offers protection and evasion with its monstrous ability. Overall, Thunder Brute could see play in specific aggressive strategies but might be outclassed by other options in more competitive environments.
