Brawler, Big Bang Slash Buster   Nanya brought to everyone's attention that we pointedly failed to review Brawlers back when they came out in BT16. Properly, anyway. So although I suspect it may be too little, too late, we start our week off with the Legion Mate for Big Bang Knuckle Buster, Slash Buster. On RG circle, he's an 11k attacker when you have a Big Bang Knuckle Vanguard (Wildfist's basically out of a job then), and if the Big Bang Knuckle Vanguard attacks and hits, he gains another 3k.   So obviously he works nicely with Knuckle Buster to gain 9k+ possibly by attacking 4 things and meeting a PG to the face, meaning he works well to create good pressure columns alongside other cards such as Arc. Not much else to say about him.   If only for Legion purposes, basically a staple.   3/5

Brawler, Big Bang Slash Buster   Welcome to Brawler week.  We didn't get a chance to review these guys yet, other than Big Bang Knuckle Buster, and considering that there's a good deal of time before the next set, we might as well get some of the cards we missed covered.  Plus, Fighter's Collection 2015 has a new boss for these guys, might as well look 'em over.   So, Slash Buster here is Knuckle Buster's mate, when it attacks a vanguard, if you have a Big Bang Vanguard, it gets +2000 power until the end of the battle.  If your Vanguard with "Big Bang Knuckle" manages to hit anything, Slash Buster gets an extra 3000 power until the end of the turn.  And, unlike what some rumored emails might have suggested, the power DOES stack, so when Knuckle Buster hits 4 at the same time, Slash Buster gets +12000 power.   What can I say?  It's what Brawlers love to do, smash face and get big doing so.   Rating: (Big Bang deck only) 4/5 Legion Rating: 4.5/5
