Brute Force

Brute Force was originally released in the Planar Chaos set in 2007 as part of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was later reprinted as part of the Modern Masters 2015 set, which was designed to provide players with access to rare and powerful cards that were previously difficult to acquire for the Modern format. The reprint maintained the card's function as a red instant that provides a creature with +3/+3 until the end of the turn, serving as a tactical combat trick.

The artwork for this version was provided by Wayne Reynolds, a prolific illustrator known for his dynamic and action-oriented style within the fantasy genre. Reynolds was tasked with visually capturing the raw, aggressive energy of the spell, utilizing his characteristic high-contrast style and kinetic framing to emphasize the sudden surge of power the card grants its target. The card was received by the player base as a reliable, straightforward utility spell that fits well into red-heavy aggressive decks.
