Ruin Crab

Description

The Ruin Crab (ZNR-75) is a distinct addition to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, released in 2024 as part of The List set. This creature card, illustrated by Simon Dominic, belongs to the blue color identity and carries a mana value of one. As a Crab subtype, it possesses a power of 0 and toughness of 3, making it a defensive presence on the battlefield. The card’s primary appeal lies in its unique ability, Landfall. This mechanic triggers whenever a land you control enters the battlefield, causing each opponent to mill three cards. Milling forces players to move cards from the top of their library directly into their graveyard, a strategy that can disrupt an opponent's game plan by depleting their resources. This effect makes Ruin Crab a compelling choice for players looking to build decks that leverage land drops for aggressive disruption. Collectors and players alike appreciate the Ruin Crab for its straightforward yet impactful design. The card’s flavor text, "To an explorer, a priceless treasure. To the crab, a rock to call home," adds a layer of narrative depth that resonates with fans of the game's rich lore. Whether you are looking to enhance your gameplay strategy or expand your Magic: The Gathering collection, the Ruin Crab offers a blend of mechanical interest and thematic charm. Its presence in The List set underscores the ongoing creativity and innovation that define the Magic: The Gathering experience. For those who enjoy the strategic depth of landfall mechanics, this card provides a versatile tool that can be integrated into various deck archetypes, offering both defensive stability and offensive pressure through resource denial.
