Thassa's Devourer mills two cards from each opponent whenever you untap a permanent — on a 4/5 body for five mana, that passive trigger adds up fast in multiplayer. It's a grind piece, not a closer, but in the right shell it generates meaningful pressure without costing you a card.

Thassa's Devourer is a Commander card through and through — the untap trigger scales directly with the number of opponents, so the four-player table is where it earns its slot. In 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer it mills one card per untap on a five-mana body, which is far too slow to matter competitively. Pauper is where it technically could see play, and a dedicated Pauper mill shell might find it passable, but the format moves too fast for a five-drop with no immediate impact. Stick to Commander.

$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Thassa's Devourer is pure bulk — a penny-bin pickup that costs nothing to test. Bulk commons and uncommons at this price point don't move much in either direction, so there's no financial consideration here: if the effect fits your deck, just buy one.
