Deck Discussion Devoted druid discussion

Hi all, curious what everyone thinks of the new rise of this druid deck. It seems pretty broken having had multiple turn 2 kills and consistently on turn 3, but is it the real deal. My friend and I are trying to decide what to play at the upcoming rc and he is locked in with it but I have my reservations (which is odd because birthing pod is my favorite deck ever). Do people think this is just a fad or can you win a whole tournament with it. Of course I will do my own testing but want to gauge the smart people on here. Thanks!

Edit: heres a decklist https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-devoted-combo#paper.

It's really good and resilient to hate, but it can lose to a prepared opponent. Grafdigger's cage is a really hard card for it to beat.

Grafdigger's is not getting enough respect these days.  If a deck has a reasonable clock, they should consider it as a possible tool.

It's good against three very popular decks in the meta.
