Other Rogues you control get +1/+1.
Whenever one or more Rogues you control deal combat damage to a player, that player mills a card for each 1 damage dealt to them. If the player mills at least one creature card this way, you draw a card. (To mill a card, a player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.)

Where it came from
Anowon, the Ruin Thief was introduced in the Zendikar Rising Commander set in 2020. This card depicts the Merfolk rogue Anowon, a character previously seen in the original Zendikar block, now reimagined with mechanics specifically tailored to support a Rogue-themed tribal strategy. The card was designed to capitalize on the returning 'party' mechanic of the Zendikar setting, encouraging players to build decks around small, evasive creatures that generate value through combat damage.
The artwork was illustrated by Bram Sels, who leaned into the character’s predatory, scholarly nature as a researcher of ancient ruins. The design focuses on the synergy between milling opponents and drawing cards, a playstyle that reflects the character's thematic role as a cunning thief. Upon release, the card was widely received as a definitive commander for Rogue decks, praised for its clarity of purpose and its ability to turn low-power creatures into significant late-game threats.
