Insatiable Devourer is designed for Druid

RageMage101 put it really nicely: " Cards like scales of onyxia, insatiable devourer, flipper friends, topior allow a druid to always be able to remove whatever the enemy plays

The opponent plays wide, you play scales or flipper friends and remove the board

The opponent plays big minions, you play insatiable devourer and destroy anything they build and also build tempo in the meantime

I dont know whoever designed insatiable devourer, but they are stupid. It’s literally an assassinate that destroys 3 minions whilst also absorbing their stats and creating a giant minion of your own.

Remember a card called abominable lieutenant? I dont know how you can forget it consider it came out 2 expansions ago. It is an 8 mana card that destroys 1 random minion and gains its stats. Insatiable devourer costs 1 more mana, and does 3x the effect, whilst also being a targetable, non random, effect. This card is broken. They literally power creeped a card 3x over within 2 expansions. Its being used in mage, in hunter, in druid. Whatever class plays tokens this card is played. The ultimate swing tool. The ultimate tempo turn. How do you play against it?? Just not play any minions???

So, they dont follow the weakness the have been given. What are their weakness then?"

Don’t forget the card that allows them to replay the last card they played – I had a Druid Dev my board, I deved his dev and he played some card that allowed him to play his Dev again and wipe my dev out.

This game is so unbalanced and no clue how the decided a card like that was needed.

Pretty much the meta atm. Sire, Theo, Brann, Kael, Devour, Starfish.

If it was that strong, we would see more classes playing it
Since this isn’t the case, probably the 9 mana cost and the infuse 5 are not trivial conditions to meet.

If druid didn’t have 20 mana available, it would be harder to play.
Imagine spending 5 mana to draw 3 and then you still have 15 mana available :joy:
