I'd rather play brawn. Unlike the primal rage, it can attack and block as long as you want, dealing some damage or kililng some creatures on the way, and if it dies it buffs the other creatures of yours.

A card that is fun and easy to abuse. This early game trample definitely applies some pressure on your opponent.

Why play Brawn? You actually have to get Brawn to die first. This enchantment is cheap, simple, and excellent.

Yes, that's right, go ahead and give your Kalonian Behemoth trample along with his shroud. I hate when my girlfriend does that to me.

@Eved: As well you should, but I can't blame her, as the behemoth isn't that great without trample. Sure, shroud is fantastic, but when I can chump-block the 9/9 forever until I have enough creatures to run through your defenses and kill you, the behemoth wasn't doing its job. At least that's what my friend hopefully learned the other night. A 9/9 is sweet, but with Primal Rage is deadly.

Brings the game to a close so much more quickly. Especially if you aren't playing mono green.

I'll just say what we're all thinking, Armadon is the best.

It can be great esp with giant shrouded fatties... But having multiples out does nothing.
@EnV: The main reason to play Brawn is if your deck has ways to put cards into the graveyard without playing them (Mulch is built for that sort of thing, some green/black or green/blue builds will use this sort of strategy). That way you get your trample completely free and it's much harder to deal with (opponent needs graveyard hate as opposed to something to deal with enchantments or just something to deal with permanents in general)
So basically, the cards have two different uses. Brawn, ironically, is the one that requires more brains. That's not to say this card is the "stupid" option, but it requires a lot less planning and can thus fit into more deck types.

@Env Because Brawn doesn't cost any mana, can't be destroyed, can be casted as a 3/3 if you have multiples (or are simply desperate) and doesn't slow your tempo. Even if you don't run black, Brawn is pretty easy to toss (Wild Mongrel.)
That said, this card is simple and easy to use. It doesn't require anything special to work and it's a decent card for beginners so they can not only learn keywords, but have an easy to understand/manipulate deck. The game is so huge that cards like this need to be in the game so people can build knowledge over time.
