Character Background

Ribtruss Roaster is a classic value engine for grindy green decks that can turn spare bodies into a growing board presence. As a Troll Druid with devour, it rewards you for banking early creatures—especially tokens—into a much larger threat, then converting those +1/+1 counters into even more material at each end step. In practice, it fits best in value or midrange shells, and can also support token-based attrition plans where every small creature is a future investment. The Pests it creates are excellent for stalling aggressive decks, chumping profitably, and slowly padding your life total as they die. A strong synergy is any deck with repeatable token generation or sacrifice outlets, since devour lets you cash in expendable creatures and cards like those that make Sacrifice matter even more. Protect Ribtruss Roaster after it resolves, because if it survives a turn cycle, its counter count can snowball into a real board takeover.
