Thallid Devourer trades saprolings for a stacking +1/+1 counter and trample, turning a token surplus into a credible threat that closes games. Slimefoot, the Stowaway and Yedora, Grave Gardener both generate the fuel it needs, making it a natural fit in any deck already manufacturing fungi on the side.

Slimefoot, the Stowaway
Slimefoot, the Stowaway generates saprolings continuously and drains opponents whenever they die, so Thallid Devourer acts as a pressure valve — sacrificing the overflow tokens to grow into a trampling finisher while Slimefoot handles the chip damage.

Thallid Devourer is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, and it's Commander where it sees the most action — specifically in token-heavy green and black builds with ongoing saproling production. In Pauper it's technically playable at common, but the format moves too fast for a three-mana creature that needs repeated sacrifice investment to threaten anything. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in it; the competition at every point on the curve is simply too deep. Commander is the right home: the game goes long enough for Thallid Devourer to accumulate counters and the singleton format makes dedicated payoffs like it easier to support.
