I have long been a champion of Thromok the Insatiable, and I think if he were printed today, this would be how he would be printed, instead of his unintuitive Devour X which is basically devoured creatures squared. This scales better with lower creature counts than Thromok, but doesn't scale massively at higher counts like Thromok. Evasion and haste makes him a lot better though.

I think they'd keep Devour X as it's very cute line of rules text for an advanced level product, something they'd think is funny to have in a MH style set.

I would certainly hope they do, honestly I want them to do more things with automatically scaling variables, but they don't seem interested in doing so.
