The devil is handicapped when it comes to creativity and inventions, he's so clueless that he needed information from Eve before he could come up with the temptation that eventually brought the 1st Adam down. Millennia passed, and he'd still not found the secret of creativity, so much so that it's the same temptation that he had to repackage for the 2nd Adam. Jesus, in anticipation of a predictable temptation, sentenced Himself to fasting. He didn't underrate the uninventive tempter because He knew something. That the tactics are familiar doesn't immune you against them, it is those who know their God (not the devil's strategy), that will be strong and do exploits.
