Why would you even call it devour. That alone makes it seem way too similar to oty. Call it something like pitfall or something. That said, I was never a fan of "steal opponent's creature" ideas.

It's called "Devour" because that's what the mechanic is.  It instantly kills something with lower HP.  If I can change something purely visual without changing the mechanic in any way to make Chasm incomparable to Otyugh (like a name change), then the two aren't similar.

Here's a quote from OldTrees regarding Oty vs. Chasm:

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,41143.0.html

Can I get a thought on this vs. Otyugh, oh Great Tree-ey One?
It is not very similar to Otyugh at all.

It is more similar to "Copy and kill target creature with less than 6|8 hp"
This is turn is similar to "Copy and deal 5|7 damage to target creature"
So it is similar to a Lightning + Parallel Universe that have to target the same creature.
This thing seemed dead inside. It seemed like an automaton, trying to act like as if it was alive. The effect was unsettling.
Orianna made a sound that supposed to a girl's squeal of glee and hugged The Ball. While it might have been touching, it was unfortunately only horrifying.

I know that the two aren't similar, but why would you call it devour to make it seem similar? Just because it has the same rules as for instakilling doesn't mean you have to name it something after something that already exists.

A different ability name would require more card space, which wouldn't fit.  It's simpler for everyone to make the ability name the same.

The point of that being? Mitosis+SoR only works good on really expensive stuff or on :time creatures. If you wanted more of these you should just pack more or use TU.
