Nice idea. But why  :death , though? And 5 quanta is too expensive for a creature who devours its mate instead of its enemy. Maybe you should make the cost lower to... 3, maybe?

Cannibals eat their own kind. They are uncultured and destroy life which is the opposite element to death. They wear ornaments and armor made from skulls and bones and also make weapons from bones and that makes them related to death in my opinion.

This creature can be a tough mono death creature. With boneyards and aflatoxin it has more than enough free fodder. It can be used to clear Malignant cells to place your creature.

They can also power vultures and bonewalls. With soul catchers, they can generate a lot of death to make up their cost. They have the same growth potential of Lava Golem and have higher hp and have no cost for their ability. I still think a slight reduction in price would be good as they have weak starting damage. But they are strong in mono death so i need more opinion.

If cost is 3, they could be fractaled and they could eat each others like true cannibals :)) and gain back quanta with soul catchers for next fractal. Add a couple of bonewalls,boneyards,vultures and aflatoxin you could make a solid deck called Cannibalism lol.

so the cannibal ability is free?
I think it deserves some quanta cost, even maybe from another element ( :gravity ?)

Isn't sacrificing a creature a good cost for the ability.

Malignant cells or squeletons worth sacrificing. And futhermore it triggers death effect.
To me, it is too powerfull without a cost. It leads to deadly death combo if you got several out.

Some have the opinion that the card is underpowered and costs high for a creature that devours on friendly creatures instead of enemy creatures. Some think that the ability to sacrifice the creature is too powerful without a cost. I am under confusion to do what next ? ???

The ability probably does need a cost of at least :death considering the existence of Mitosis. Get a Mitosis weenie (Frog or Virus) out and play a bonewall to reinforce your defenses while you're at it.

Sacrificing a creature is equivalent to about  :death :death or  :fire :fire :fire :fire in equivalent activation cost.

Cannibal looks balanced.

Put the + on the second number too. Also, does it cost 1 death or is it free to devour your own creatures?

Honestly, after reading your explanation I understand your reasoning, and won't say it's underpowered anymore.
