What it does
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 first appeared in the Gatecrash expansion for Magic: The Gathering in 2013, designed as a Dimir-aligned creature that mechanically represents the guild's focus on surveillance, mill, and psychic manipulation. It was created to act as a powerful late-game threat in limited formats and Commander, scaling in strength based on the number of cards in an opponent's graveyard. Its inclusion in the 2024 Foundations set serves as a reprint, allowing the creature to remain accessible to newer players within the game's core rotational structure.
The artwork was rendered by Karl Kopinski, a prolific illustrator known for his gritty, painterly style and long history with the franchise. In this piece, Kopinski captures the grotesque, otherworldly nature of the Aberration, emphasizing the creature's tentacled, shifting form as it consumes the thoughts and memories of its victims. The design was received favorably by players for its thematic resonance with the Dimir aesthetic and its distinctive, unsettling visual presence on the battlefield.
