hmmm what is there to say about this card that hasn't already been said??

Well, let's start with its stats.
Graviton Chef: 2|4 for a cost of 4 :gravity
Graviton Mercenary: 3|5 for a cost of 4 :gravity
The stats seem fine, since the Chef has an ability. If it had higher stats then the Mercenary would become obsolete.

Now, what about the ability..
:fire Cook:
Reduce target creature's HP by 50% (75% for upped). Devouring a cooked creature +2|+3.

For the unupped a creature's HP would be reduced as follows:
2 -> 1
8 -> 4
15 -> 7 or 8 (the description doesn't say which way it's rounded)
25 -> 12 or 13
30 -> 15
50 -> 25
So, over a few turns something even as big as a Massive Dragon could have its HP reduced to the point where it could be eaten. And with every Devour, the Otyugh would gain 3 HP, making it even better at doing what it does, which is nom-nom'ing.

Other synergies this card could have:
Any kind of poison + this card would kill creatures much faster.
Obviously there's already a synergy with Fire. 'Cook' could be used to reduce a creature's HP before you Fire Bolt/Rage Potion it. (Well, any kind of synergy really)

Really weird card lol
kind of reminds me of the holy cow... maybe this guy cooked him up and ate him??

I'm going to vote for this card, but a couple things still bother me.

1) The bonus for eating a cooked card is way too high.  With a couple Chefs and an Oty, I can make the Oty (already a dangerous card) an insane unit in two turns.  Just burning the unit by 50% of its health is powerful enough for the card.  Where the Chef and Oty using three elements, this would be more balanced.

2) Seriously???  A pig??? Ha ha ha...  I love the concept, but that has to change before adding to the game.   ;D
