Beatdowns don't care about budget. Beat downs gonna beat down till the beating is done. Battlemage is the Avatar that wants to suit up and rumble in the red zone. Fortunately, when your best asset in combat is the cardboard you start with, all you have to do is supplement it with anything bloody and battlescarred, and it'll take care of the rest.
For those who don't want to wait around for the Realm to develop and just want to start throwing punches after mulligans, Battlemage is for you.
