So i have been playing this game for about 4 or 5 hours now but i have been playing ccgs for most of my life. I have played maybe 8-10 PvPs and in EACH AND EVERY ONE my opponent played multiple Devourers. This card is stupidly OP and needs fixing.

First of all, this is the wrong place to post this topic.
Second of all devourers aren't overpowered. They're not even overused (wich seems to be your only argument).

If you want a serious discussion about this topic, I suggest you use the correct format:
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,208.0.html (be sure to read the "READ THIS FIRST" post)

Also check if this topic hasn't been brought up by someone else and come with some reasonable arguments.

ps. if Devourers bother you, get some sanctuaries in your deck!

Mind giving constructive criticism rather than the unoriginal "omg it steals quanta" rant?
Just cause noobs don't know better but putting Devourers in every deck doesn't imply they're overpowered.

okay, so fine.  Instead of insulting him for being in the wrong area, lets focus on the factt hat I just played 4 decks in a row that played 10+ devourers.  It's bullshit and you know it.  They need to cost more so they can't just throw out a handful every turn.

if that happened they wouldn't be as useful and might become UP
If I have something to say I'll keep it to my self then let it out at the worst possible moment and then I will walk away laughing

10+? You're either facing a fractal devourer deck (fractal is very expensive!), a mitosis devourer deck (really slow), or an arena deck (which is meant to be hard).

Oh, especially when used with Nightfall | Eclipse, then it has ATTACK!

*cough*

Anyways, 1 quanta absorbed is very minimal as unless you're very strict on quanta and can't afford it.  However, the decks that fall here are either very small or aren't that reliable to begin with.

what should devourer's nerf be since if you do 2 blessing and then rage it has 12 attack.
Years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, and Steve Jobs. Now we have Obama, no hope, no cash, and no jobs.

I was going to say that, but that's actually a fairly significant nerf so I didn't mention it :P
