I know this card is fairly popular right now,
but I don't particularly like it. I always
thought it didn't do enough on its own, and
drawing one in a hand without support (devour
creatures, Nantuko Husk, Torrent of Souls,
Siege-Gang Commander) is bad times, as is
topdecking it late in the game - good luck
against Elspeth or Garruk, little goblins. Don't
get me wrong, I do understand why it is being
played, as it interacts favorably with those
cards I mentioned and many more besides. In
limited you can often afford to wait and set up
your Thunder-Thrash Elder, a kind of play you
often don't have the luxury to make in
constructed.

If only it were an instant. However, it is not.
As a sorcery, this is only a fair to moderate
card to use. There are a few token decks that
might like this. Paired with Sprouting Thrinax
and Gargadon, you may have something. First turn
Gargadon, Second Turn Fodder, Third Turn Thrinax
with Gargadon already at 8 you have some options
:). In limited, you can always use a chump block
but I would not draft it high.

Dragon Fodder
Constructed:
Great card to use with all of the Devour
creatures that are available.
Casual:
For the cheap casual decks, or for the new
players this is a great card.
Limited:
If you a one of the Devour bombs that are out
there, than this is the card or cards for you.
Overall a good card. To bad it did not have
tribal.

Dragon Fodder
Average. In constructed devour isn't really
Tier1 so dragon fodder isn't exactly that
useful. In limited if you can draft a decent
Jund deck then it may find a place in the deck.
The only problem is that by itself its is fairly
subpar. In casual it will nearly always find a
place in Jund decks.
