Wave Brood could be considered as one of the most effective back-row Tanker you could find. Among the shortlisted cards with Taunt ability, Wave Brood are the few one to have non-melee attack, allowing it to be deployed in the back-row. But compared to Mycelic Slipspawn or Iziar (both of which are of non-melee type), Wave Brood have the highest health/mana ratio. This means Wave Brood could effectively absorb more damage and should survive over longer round.
