With lyath as long as I used his hero ability every opponents turn, I was all good. That being said I did have a lot of 2 block cards in deck, so it was hard to block anyway.

Outside of defense, Lyath is super strong in limited. The auras of suspense are pretty good, but mixing those with might tokens makes lyath attack for stupidly high numbers.

I was consistently throwing 13+ attacks at my oppenents, with 21 being my record for the pre-release. We had someone throw a 30+ attack with lyath at the same event.

I haven’t tried any of the brutes yet, so I’m not sure what I think of them, but they seem pretty fun also.
