A fun read, but that doesn't make the card viable in mono red.

Nykthos gives "Big Red" a whole new dimension. I actually liked the Nythos Devotion lists. Play Member Swallower, Monstrous next turn? :drool:

I rarely skip a Khaospawn wall of text because I know there is always piss at the end of the rainbow.
