Zageitz: "obvious combo = dragon fodder"

- I couldn't agree more. Add in a first turn Mass Hysteria to that, and you're swinging for 7 on your 3rd turn!

Boy do I love this card, but I think the reason why this isn't considered "omg holy s*** awesome!", is because it's pretty hard to fit it into a deck. I could imagine a deck running some of these, Dragon Fodder, Mass Hysteria, Goblin Assault and some burn (say, Fireblast and Lightning Bolt?) spells (and probably a couple of Seething Songs and Empty the Warrens), but buying those cards to build an entire deck around it isn't something everyone would do. Still, the idea is nice.

I personally love the skill involved with using devour. Unless the card makes up for the advantage you really shouldn't kill more then a couple of your creatures. This is a great example. Even if you only kill one creature you still get 4/4 for 3 and thats a good deal. Killing another one nets you a 7/7 well above the curve and also worth it early on. If you feed it more then that though you start getting greedy and leave yourself open to be punished for it. So as long as your doing it right the advantage you loss when you play it will be small making the possibility of losing it a nonissue.

I totally agree with TheSwarm. Yes removal is out there, its removes stuff. All you people who say this and this all die to removal, well think of your best card or favorite card, yes it dies to removal, but doesn't mean you'll play it less, so stop saying everything dies to removal. Its a bad excuse and rather old. I like this card. I never really thought much about him till now, I am really thinking about making a deck out of him.

Turn 1 forest, young wolf. Turn two, mountain, infernal plunge tap forest for another young wolf, use the three floating red for this.

7/7 beatstick turn 2 is pretty nice.

I hate people. Who say. This card sucks. Because of removal. It is by far the lamest excuse I have ever heard. It is an unintelligent way for people to fight the crowd and lift their noses at great cards like this. That excuse basically makes every creature in Magic worthless. This card is very good, especially when you can give him plenty of creatures to eat. And I'm sure if you play him in a white red deck which seems plausible you can give him shroud anyway. I mean Whispersilk Cloak was MAAADE for this guy. And don't you DARE say wrath of god.
