I haven't thought long enough about this to have a strong opinion, but it looked like it might be subtle to compute -- prove me wrong!
Why shouldn't D. trip the shadow die? why shouldn't D trip the poison die? which is more dangerous?

It looks like the dilemma here is whether to try for a draw or to try for a win.
If the aim is to try for a draw, then all Devious needs to do is capture no dice, while losing all his dice. This becomes impossible if the sH(U=8) is rerolled, though, since it grows in size. Thus, the only possible option here is to trip the poison die and hope for a number of high rolls from it.
Looking at the score, though, it seems a bad move to aim for a draw, since Mushu obviously has the upper hand, having already won two rounds. Thus, I would play for a win, even though the chance of this is less than 10% (capturing the sH(U=10) directly, and then avoiding capturing the po(R=16)).
Remind me how to make a post of my own, please?
