About Devouring Hellion

Devouring Hellion, Creature — hellion, designed by Bayard Wu first released in Apr, 2019 in the set War of the Spark. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.36.

A deck focused on sacrificing creatures and planeswalkers for value, such as a sacrifice or aristocrats deck, would benefit from using Devouring Hellion. While it can provide a significant power boost if played strategically, other cards like Woe Strider or Mayhem Devil may offer more versatile or consistent effects for similar strategies, making them potentially better choices depending on the deck's overall game plan. Devouring Hellion could see play in specific builds looking to capitalize on sacrificing multiple permanents for a powerful board presence.

Rules

05/03/19

If Devouring Hellion somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature or planeswalker, you can’t sacrifice that creature or planeswalker. You may choose only permanents that are already on the battlefield.

05/03/19

You choose how many and which creatures and planeswalkers to sacrifice for Devouring Hellion’s ability while it’s entering the battlefield. No player may take actions between the time you choose which permanents to sacrifice and the time Devouring Hellion is on the battlefield with those counters.
