Target opponent sacrifices a creature or planeswalker with the greatest mana value among creatures and planeswalkers they control. You gain 2 life.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2026-08-21
Break Under Pressure targets only the opponent, not any permanent. A permanent with hexproof may be sacrificed this way if its mana value is the greatest, for example.
- 2026-08-21
Which creature or planeswalker will be sacrificed is determined as Break Under Pressure resolves.
- 2026-08-21
Consider all creatures and planeswalkers the target opponent controls as one group to see which one has the greatest mana value. For example, if the opponent controls a creature with mana value 3 and a planeswalker with mana value 5, they must sacrifice the planeswalker.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
