Deck discussion for Devour Deck

Aah, a devour deck! This type of deck was actually the first deck I ever built. =D

You could try to run a few Awakening Zone to get some stuff for devour - plus they're good for sacking the tokens for mana. Also another devour creature that you might consider is Thunder-Thrasher elder. Devour 3 is pretty nice - just eat 2 creatures and he's at 7!

One thing I found that's incredibly fun and very worthwhile is run a few creature steals, like Act of Treason or even Conquering Manticore, steal their strongest monster, attack them with it (they won't kill it, because they just get it back at the end of their turn, maybe they'd chump block) - but then at your second main phase you summon a creature with devour and BAM. You get rid of one of their creature AND you get the devour kicker without losing one of your own. This is more of a later game spell (as it requires the cost for the steal spell and the summon), but totally worth it if they have huge fatties.

Finally, I'd suggest getting some red or green creatures that spawn more creatures once they leave the battlefield. Mitotic Slime is perhaps one of the best, though even things like Dripping-Tongue Zubera can spawn extra creatures to NOM.

Huh, I either didn't read it very well or you've updated it since I started commenting. Either way, I like it. Keep it up!

Sry about that I forgot to set it as work-in-progress, i have an Eldrazi deck but i realized I could convert it into a decent Devour deck through Sideboard so I wanted to see how it would look

Very interesting deck idea. I do love the sac eldrazi spawn for devour concept. You may have to tweak this deck around a bit though and take out some of the weaker cards and put in more of the better cards like the devour dragons or you will be waiting around all game to draw them.
