how about another counterspell?
Let's start at the bottom: Destroying a Wind Dancer? Why oh why should I do this? With the original wording "may only pass if a smiling character is present" this might have been a good Dilemma, but they dropped that for the confusion it would cause. Youth OR Music is way too easy to overcome, so forget this use of The Devil. (Who uses a Wind Dancer anyway?)
Better: Destroying a treaty. Good two-color decks work without a treaty anyway, but once it is out and you have made use of it, you are in serious trouble when it is destroyed, as you lose a lot of time returning "wrong" personnel to their outposts or ships. Even worse, some ships might be stalled when they run out of command crew.
Best: Removing a Horga'hn. This card is nasty and powerful and it cannot be destroyed by normal means like Kevin or Amanda. Once your opponent gets it and you cannot counter it, you can often concede the game. So here the Devil makes sense. A definite tournament card as you won't see many tourney decks without a Horga'hn.
Summary: A must for a tourney deck. Much less useful in friendly play, as you won't see as many Horga'hns there (there are house rules that ban this card as being too strong!)
