This card looks amazing for Jund. Sacrifice things to power up your Rockslide Elementals, Scavenger Drakes, and Algae Gherials. And that helps with Dragon Appeasement. I'm looking forward to getting mine at the prerelease.

six is pretty steep for a 4/4 flier. however it almost has an immediate effect with its chumpable token. not good enough for competitive unless some one comes up with a combo for it.

i don't get it...when you start your turn, given that you only have the mother in play, you'll only be controlling a mother and a token in play right? because the token shall devour the token that came before it, unless of course the token devours the mother itself. in that case, that's sick.
crazyknight, you don't have to make the tokens devour each other when a new one comes out, you can wait a few turns and build up the number of tokens then sack a lot of them for a monster token

This card is just amazingly kickass. Between the various dragon buff cards out there, this shouldn't be a problem. Combo it with any number of Jund cards that give a bonus when you sac a creature, and you're golden. Crucible of Fire? Even if it's not devouring anything, you've got a 4/4 flier. Doubling Season? Pop out two, devour one, and it becomes a 5/5. Lots of options here, and at the end of it, you've just got at on of fliers going around. Great card, great card.

This card is, in my opinion, a very good card. especially under the right circumstances. like if you have a crucible of fire on the field and your producing a 4/4 r/g dragon with flying every upkeep...
in a dragon deck, the card is wicked...

Just got one yesterday. It is a fantasic card.
I can't decide whether to add it to my deck though. I like the card too much to shuffle it.
UPDATE: I added it. It saw play in two games and won them both for me. I'd actually say this card is the oposite of Mycoloth. Mycoloth devours things and produces a lot of tokens. This produces tokens that devour stuff.

Don't bother having the dragon tokens devour stuff! Crucible of Fire makes Dragon Broodmother a 7/7 with flying that pumps out 4/4 with flying creatures every turn!

Run three of them in my Devour deck. The token production is nuts in a large multiplayer game, since you get one at each player's upkeep. At the end of 5 players turns you can get 9/9 flier without Doubling Season. Also a great combo with cards like Kresh the Bloodbraided or Rockslide Elemental My only real gripe is the lack of Black in the mana cost, making it vulnerable to cheap removal. (Maybe take out one of those three Red?) 4.5/5

I got this card and Lord of Extinction in a single booster lol...missed Lord of Extinction the first time I went through the booster because it was kinda stuck to the card above it. Not a bad pull from a booster at all, I must say.
But yeah, this card is pretty amazing as long as it doesn't get killed right away by spells. Won me two 1v1 games last night (one of them where I was down 20 life to 4).

If you have the baby dragons devour 2 other things each turn, say even other tokens, they can be 5/5, and trigger naya 5 power matters abilities, and thats when it starts to get crazy.. one bloodthorn taunter can give your baby dragons haste every turn, and spearbreaker can give them indestructibility. Be nice if the dragon herself was 5/4 though.

very good with verdant embrace and verdant force, and you cant go wrong with doubling season, I will drop 2 saprolings and 2 dragons, each dragon will eat a sap, and the dragons get 4 +1/+1 counters
great in a token deck, and works great with any token/sac effects as it both puts tokens in, and those tokens have devour
I have four of these and I run them in red/green dragon deck. I have ruined days with just having one out. I believe that one game I was in, I had one out and it was against three other people. I slowly let the babies rack up. and then WHAM! I let the eleventh one come in and devour ten. With crucible of fire on the field, next turn I hit someone with 24/24 flying. It was epic.
Probably my favorite card...

This is a pretty good card. The problem, however, is that it's competing with dragon broodmate in jund's 6-drop, and no other deck really wants to run this (if you want tokens, run something like wolfbriar). It's basically the same as anowon; anowon is a good card, but it's competing with malakir bloodwitch for vampire's 5-drop, and malakir is better, so anowon never sees play.

Dragon Fodder was MADE to support this card. It gives 'ya two goblins to devour at instant speed, meaning you can drop it during upkeep and there no way for the opponent to kill the tokens before the widdle cuddly killing machines eat them.

this thing is amazing. even if your babies don't devour things they are still 1/1s with flying, that come into play during your opponents turns as well.
I might even compare this to something like, oh I don't know, bitterblossom, sure it costs a lot but it's effect is a lot more powerful as well.

Ok, i have a brilliant strategy for this card. I have a Monogreen deck with a large amount of mana output through lands and tappable creatures. I also have 4 Tinder Wall. Now, What i do is, once i have a substantial amount of Forests (8-12) i pop a Howl of the Night Pack, maybe another the next turn if im lucky enough to have two in the same hand. That alone gives me a fair few sacrificial lambs (or wolves hehe). However, if im also lucky enough to have 2 tinder walls, i can play them, sacrifice them and play this card, and the turn after, i can sacrifice all the wolves to get that many dragons which have +1/+1 more than the wolves each. Combine this with Overrun and not many people will survive XD

The green mana symbol feels as if it shouldn't be there, though, and Alara Reborn's all multicolor theme forced it in. If they'd made it cost 2RRGG, it'd be fine. As is, the RRRG just doesn't look right. It's just begging to be mono-red.

@Studoku: Buy some sleeves for your cards = problem solved. They protect your cards from wear and tear, and prevents them from getting dirty if you're not playing on a newly-cleaned table, and they're generally cheap enough that there shouldn't be an excuse to play without them.

After playing this card: Me: Okay, I'll start my turn - DRAGON! (puts out a token) - play some spell, and throw a 1/1 flier your way. Opponent: Okay, it's my turn- Me: DRAGON! (puts out another token) Opponent: (glares) Are you going to do that every time you get one of those things? Me: Yep. Oh, look, it's my turn again. DRAGON!

There are just some cards where you overlook things at first... each upkeep, instant speed, bands with others.... well, maybe not that last one.
Funfact! This is the only card every printed with a CCCD mana cost. That is, three mana of one color and only one of the other. It's a very asymmetrical and unique mana cost.
A flying token on every turn - not just your own - is pretty good for a token deck. It also means that if you run Eldrazi Monument as sweeper/removal protection, you're still gaining surplus even if you just have the Broodmother producing and no assistance.
Play it in multiplayer, however, and things can get crazy.
QUESTION; i cant decide if i should put three of these or just keep two and add a third Flamenlast Dragon to my deck? Any advice? I could always drop a Dragonmaster Outcast or two and add one of both....

Traditionally, Red/Green has had some difficulty dealing with an abundance of fliers... this card solves all of those problems and then some. Even if you just produce a bunch of 1/1's, you've still got a ton of chump blockers, and with enough turns, their numbers can get truly ridiculous. If all else fails, have the children eat each other to become as strong as you need.
Also, the Broodmother herself is amazing when enchanted with Runes of the Deus.
