Some of the cards are very weak in their stats, so they make up for it by having very powerful special rules.
The idea behind Pollen is that when you have allergies, getting all riled up isn't going to help, and panicking can make problems worse, so you need to be calm (not a Zealot) to be able to take it on. Of course I do't mean literally pollen, but an alien species that acts similarly, as with most cards.
Of course, with Lifters, I wasn't thinking weights, but something more akin to morale, which is why it effects all other cards in play.
Kamikaze is perhaps both the weakest and most powerful card, since its stats are minimal, but its special rule is devastating. The only way to get rid of it without detonation is by True Conversion.
Lost Souls is a bit odd, in that it is a fairly powerful card, yet has a limitation on its powers of conversion. This is meant to reflect (in a very abstract way) the way a ghost might scare you, but can do no real damage.
Spineless is the one "opposite card" of this set, where its attack stat is poor and its reasoning is good.
Since that's the last of the Devotee cards for all colors, next we'll move on to the final batch of cards, the Frenzies.
