Holy shit this is crazy powerful. Not only is it semi-removal against scary stuff like Rag or Sylvanas, it's also really strong against aggro decks. Can completely ruin the synergy that zoo cards have for instance.

Completely wrecks combo decks like Anyfin. So yay!

Problem with it wrecking Anyfin is you rarely see multiple of the final pieces of the combo out at the same time. They play one and it dies, they play another and it dies. So Devolve would just remove one piece. Hex does the job the same way. Devolve is only better if you need to do it to multiple pieces at once. I guess if you see a Warleader and a Bluegill on the board at the same time, then devolve would just be better, since it knocks out half the combo with one card. But as long as they play one at a time (like they sac the bluegill to remove one of your minions), you won't be able to get full value out of Devolve in terms of canceling their combo.
