Consuming Aberration – Does Milling Stop at a Land?
Asked by DonaldFuck 4 days ago
I had Consuming Aberration on the battlefield, and when its ability triggered, one of my opponents claimed that the land revealed stays on top of their library. They argued that because of this, all future triggers would see the same land, preventing me from milling them further. However, I believe that the land is actually put into the graveyard, meaning each spell I cast would trigger a new milling sequence with fresh cards from their library.
Who’s correct here? Does each trigger mill new cards, or does the land stay on top and stop further milling?

Your opponent reveals cards until they reveal a land, then put those cards (not all other cards revealed) into their graveyard. Because the land was revealed, it goes to the graveyard. Consuming Aberration will always mill at least 1 card (unless their library is empty). Compare to Tunnel Vision which specifies that it mills the other cards and leaves the named card on top.
