Legends designers loved their Shakespeare quotes, which is the only interesting thing about this card...a 1/2 for , even with islandwalk isn't that good...

I am really, really upset by the fact that the card called Devouring Deep is so very, very disappointing. Waste of such an awesome name.

Overpriced landwalk, par for the course for the set that brought you Lost Soul.

I think I'll try to make a Devouring Deep tribal deck. Lets start by finding all the different Devouring Deep cards out there... Just this? Yea screw that.

With a name like "Devouring Deep", this thing should be at least 7/7, don't you think? It wouldn't hurt if it had an ability like "tap: remove target attacking creature from the game." This pathetic thing couldn't devour a Storm Crow.

At least you can pitch it to FoW. Then again, any merfolk card can do all that and more.
Great art and flavortext. And name. Power wise it's a bit under the curve, but not much. If you run cards that turn lands into islands, for example as pseudo ld against powerful nonbasic lands, and have some equipment to pump this guy, then he's playable in a casual deck.
I can't say Flying means it's strictly worse. Consider that occasionally, spells can only kill flying targets, especially most green removal.
So not strictly worse, but still pretty bad compared to Storm Crow.

This gets a full star extra from me for the very fitting Shakespeare flavour text!
@NARFNra: You do realise he was joking, right? "Strictly worse than Storm Crow" is a popular joke on the Gatherer, even though, in this case, it's particularly fitting. But not as fitting as Sea Eagle's case.

The age in Magic where for many cards, the most interesting thing about it was the flavor text.
