Devour Life

Whenever you play a Soul, Summon 1.

Devour Life is a rare Necrobinder Power that causes you to Summon 1 whenever you play a Soul card. This bridges the Osty/Summon and Souls/Blood Magic archetypes, creating a self-reinforcing loop where playing Soul cards sustains Osty while Osty absorbs the HP cost of future Soul plays.

Devour Life combined with Haunt creates a devastating dual trigger: every Soul play both damages enemies and reinforces Osty. Dredge retrieves Souls from the Graveyard for repeated plays. Sacrifice converts the Osty HP built by Devour Life into massive Block. This creates the Necrobinder's most powerful three-archetype synergy loop.

Devour Life is a key rare for Necrobinder players who want to combine all three archetypes. Against long boss fights like Kaiser Crab and Test Subject #C10, the sustained Osty regeneration from Soul plays keeps your defensive buffer active throughout. The Necrobinder's strength lies in interlocking her three systems, and Devour Life is the card that most directly bridges them.
