What it does

Exile all attacking creatures target player controls. That player may search their library for that many basic land cards, put those cards onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.

Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2017-09-29

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

  • 2017-09-29

    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.

  • 2017-09-29

    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).

Every version of Settle the Wreckage

7 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Settle the Wreckage — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
