Abomination is a five-mana 2/6 with forced-block clauses against green and white creatures — a niche defensive body that punishes creature-heavy strategies while trading up on toughness. The cost is steep for what you get: five mana for a non-evasive blocker that does nothing on offense and gets outclassed by the haymakers it's supposed to answer.

Abomination is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees virtually no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, the forced-block ability has theoretical value against green stompy or white weenie strategies, but a 2/6 for five mana without any enters-the-battlefield effect or evasion is simply not pulling its weight in a 100-card singleton format where every slot competes hard. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest — those formats end games before a five-mana do-nothing blocker becomes relevant. Oathbreaker is the one fringe case where slowing down aggressive creature decks might occasionally matter, but better options exist at every point on the curve.
