This card makes me comfortable when I see it in my hand. It's strong and tough, but with a small (yet fair) downside.

Well that is what red is all about, being completely reckless, emotional, and violent.

@ kryptnyt

(from thefreedictionary, paraphrased)
Virtuous- adjective

1. characterized by or possessing virtue or moral excellence; righteous; upright
2. (of women) chaste or virginal (let's just ignore this one, shall we?)

I hardly think a 10 foot- tall barbaric musclebound brute with a kilt adorned with HUMAN SKULLS is going to concern himself with moral excellence. When he wakes up in the morning, the only thing on that tiny brain of his is SMASH KILL CRUSH.

Your understanding of straight red is a little off. A ravenous and insatiable appetite for violence (he has to attack every turn, after all) does not equate bravery. Bravery is about understanding what you're going up against, and the knowing the repercussions of backing down. It is knowing that if you fail, and you very well might, then others might be harmed. Others you love and care for. It is about taking all this into consideration and still fighting, because you will not back down and let harm befall your loved ones.

Bloodrock cyclops charges into battle because you are there and he wants to smash you.

Gorgeous artwork! I love attack-each-turn creatures. They're never quite good enough to be worth that downside, but they're still so charming. Would have been nice if this were a Berserker or something.
