Vile Aggregate

Description

Released in 2015 as part of the Battle for Zendikar expansion, the Vile Aggregate foil card (BFZ #137) offers a distinct presence for Magic: The Gathering collectors. This Uncommon creature belongs to the Eldrazi Drone type and is visually distinguished by its premium foil finish, which adds significant shelf appeal to any collection. Designed by Chris Rallis, the card embodies the terrifying aesthetic of the Eldrazi plane-walkers that defined this era of the game. Gameplay-wise, Vile Aggregate is a unique threat on the battlefield with a mana cost of two generic and one red mana. As a Creature — Eldrazi Drone with 5 toughness, its power scales dynamically based on the number of colorless creatures you control, making it a versatile asset in decks focused on mana rock strategies. The card utilizes the Devoid mechanic, meaning it has no color identity despite its red mana cost, allowing it to be included in mono-colorless decks without restriction. It also possesses Trample, ensuring it can deal damage even when blocked. The Ingest mechanic adds a strategic layer to this card; whenever Vile Aggregate deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles the top card of their library. This ability can severely deplete an opponent's resources over time. Collectors seeking to complete the Battle for Zendikar set will appreciate this card's foil variant for its visual contrast against the standard black-bordered Uncommons. Whether you are building a thematic Eldrazi deck or simply expanding your Magic: The Gathering library, this card represents a key piece of the 2015 Zendikar storyline.
