MILLER

Gluttony is the loyal sidekick of Lust. He has an insatiable appetite, and he will attempt to destroy any one who harms Lust. Of the seven sin characters in the anime, he is one of only 2 to make their way to the movie, and he is the only one who is still a villain.

Gluttony contrasts the homunculus wits deck type, but in some shape or form, he usually finds his way into a homunculus deck. Nine times out of ten, however, its not this Gluttony, as Big Fists is the best version of Gluttony in the game. It will take a lot for a card to overtake Big Fists, at 7 cost his effect is next to none, as no other characters can reuse strength events.

In sealed, this Gluttony is worth a look. Mainly because he is a 6 cost ally with 7 strength. His augment effect is irrelevant in that format generally. In constructed, I just can't see his uses, he is pretty terrible here.

Sealed 5/5: Great turn one drop for a homunculus leader.
Constructed 1/5: Just sub-par compared to Big Fists.

It is sin week this week and we’ll start off with a look at one of the newer versions of Gluttony, Ravenous. The bottom line is stick with Gluttony, Big Fists if you are going to run him. For one more cost he can ensure that every strength event in your deck can see play twice. Ravenous’ ability is not bad by any means, but since removing discard piles really seems to hurt Homonculus factions the most, it would have been way better if it were on an ally from another faction.

Pros:
-Remove discard stops pulling from discard pile, Burning the Past, Lust, Woman with a Dream, etc.
-Good strength for a 6 cost ally

Cons:
-Big Fists is just so much better

Sealed:4/5-It actually is pretty good in this format, giving you a cheaper ally with good strength.
Constructed:2/5-Can you say two Challenge the Sun’s in one turn with Big Fist instead?
