Devour

Keywords · intermediate

Devour N lets a creature eat your other creatures to enter bigger. It reads "Devour N."

How it works

• As a creature with devour N enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of creatures.
• It enters with N +1/+1 counters on it for each creature sacrificed this way.

Rules notes

• Devour is a replacement effect tied to entering, so the counters are present immediately.
• Some devour cards care about how many creatures were devoured for additional triggers.
• Sacrificing creatures to devour can itself trigger their death abilities.
