    Settle the Wreckage targets only the player. Attacking creatures with hexproof that player controls will be exiled as this spell resolves.

  • WotCJun 29, 2026

    That player can find fewer basic land cards than the number of exiled creatures, whether because they want to or because they don't have that many basic land cards left.

  • WotCJun 29, 2026

    The number of lands that player may find is the number of attacking creatures that were exiled, even if some of those creatures were tokens, weren't creature cards, or didn't end up in exile (most likely because one was that player's commander in the Commander variant).
