Consuming Aberration's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your opponents' graveyards.
Whenever you cast a spell, each opponent reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card, then puts those cards into their graveyard.

Where it came from
Consuming Aberration was originally designed for the Gatecrash expansion in 2013, representing the Dimir guild's mill-centric playstyle. The creature is defined by its ability to scale in power based on the number of cards in opponents' graveyards, embodying the eldritch, horror-themed aesthetic of the Ravnica plane. Its inclusion in the Commander 2016 release allowed players to revisit this mechanics-heavy design within the popular multiplayer format.
The card features artwork by Karl Kopinski, a renowned illustrator known for his gritty, expressive style. Kopinski depicted the creature as a towering, multi-limbed mass of tentacles and shadows, successfully conveying the sense of existential dread and chaotic hunger central to the Dimir guild's identity. Upon its release, the card became a staple in graveyard-focused Commander decks for its capacity to serve as both a massive threat and a potent win condition.
