Radiated brute is OP
(Does this monster look constipated?)
For a common monster playable for 5mana, the radiated brute is exactly that
a brute
If your planning to use the fire splinter with the most-obvious sickest B*tch summoner TARSA with her +1 strength/ +1 health...
This monster is a Must-Have, Must-Use and is one of the most OP cards to make combinations with.
My favorite and most used combination when dealing with fire is to use Grum with Brute following as shown in this formation.
- The Radiated brute (speed 2) will attack before Grum (speed 1)
This will typically knock the opponents health down enough for Grum to come in after for the kill along with triggering Grums Bloodlust ability.
Basically my strategy is to focus on Grum getting the kills and triggering his ability as he becomes unstoppable once going. This includes a monster with shatter (to break shields) and enough frontal damage monsters above speed 1.

Beyond my favorite line-up in the fire splinter, The radiated brute pretty much is utilized in every battle due to his high strength and health along with his fairly cheap mana cost of 5 but most importantly for his Reach ability (attacks from 2nd position)
- I honestly think he should be a rare
- Along with costing 6mana.
So, count the blessings, recognize the power and utilize this monster because
The Radiated Brute is OP in its current state
