Key Mechanic: Sandpit / Frantic Escape
The Insatiable creates a Sandpit counter that decreases by 1 each turn. At zero, it instantly devours you — run over. Six Frantic Escape cards are shuffled into your deck; playing one increases the Sandpit counter, buying more time. But playing Escapes costs energy and cards that could go toward damage.
Attack Pattern
Turn 1: Sandpit timer starts, Frantic Escapes added. Then cycles: Strength Buff → Strike → Heavy Strike. Damage escalates quickly with Strength stacking.
Sandpit

Heavy Strike

How to Beat The Insatiable
You must win within 4-5 turns or the Sandpit kills you. Build your entire Act 1-2 deck around burst damage. Keep your deck small (around 20 cards) so you reliably draw Frantic Escape cards when you need them. Don't play too many Escapes early — each one costs energy that should go toward killing the boss. Play Escapes only when the timer is critically low.

Don't play Escapes unless the Sandpit timer is critically low
Every Escape played is energy NOT spent on damage — balance carefully
Front-loaded burst decks are essential; slow scaling decks will get devoured
