Card text

Consuming Ashes

Instant

Exile target creature. If it had mana value 3 or less, surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)

The enforcer only got halfway through the arrest warrant before it—and he—went up in smoke.

Use the mana value of the creature as it last existed on the battlefield to determine whether or not you surveil.
Apr 12, 2024
If the target creature has in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
Apr 12, 2024
If the target creature is an illegal target as Consuming Ashes tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t surveil.
