Yours is just too OP. It can easily kills an eldrazi or dragons and in additon you would also get an army of 3/3 golems with only four mana each.
Yes, it's definitely OP and the two abilities don't go well together compared to existing devour cards!
The card just didn't have any synergy or overlapping theme between the two abilities. Which felt odd for a devour card and was compounded by the activated ability being too extreme.
I would've preferred you make a different card as the existing one was far too restrictive on your design preferences!
Does this count? Its color identity is technically grixis.
