What it does
Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, each opponent mills three cards. (To mill a card, a player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.)
To an explorer, a priceless treasure. To the crab, a rock to call home.

Where it came from
Ruin Crab was introduced in the 2020 Magic: The Gathering set Zendikar Rising. Designed as an uncommon creature, it serves as a quintessential example of the 'mill' mechanic, where a player forces their opponent to discard cards from the top of their library. The card was specifically crafted to support blue-aligned control decks, providing a low-cost, repeatable effect that punishes opponents over the course of a game.
The card's striking visual identity was brought to life by illustrator Simon Dominic, who leaned into the eldritch, bioluminescent aesthetic characteristic of the Zendikar plane. The artwork emphasizes the creature's massive, rocky shell, which serves both as camouflage and a literal manifestation of its ability to erode an opponent's resources. It quickly gained notoriety in the competitive community for its surprising efficiency, becoming a staple in both Limited and Constructed formats shortly after its release.
