Containment Breach

Destroy target artifact or enchantment. If its mana value is 2 or less, create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token with "When this token dies, you gain 1 life."

For pestkeepers, there's no sound more disheartening than breaking glass.

Containment Breach is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard and Pauper.

Containment Breach Rulings

  • Apr 16, 2021

    Although you may want to include Lessons in your sideboard if you're playing with cards that instruct you to learn, Lesson cards can be included in your main deck like other instant or sorcery cards.

  • Apr 16, 2021

    If Containment Breach resolves, and the target artifact has a mana value of 2 or less, but it wasn't destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible), you will still create a Pest.

  • Apr 16, 2021

    If the artifact or enchantment is an illegal target as Containment Breach tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't create a Pest.

  • Apr 16, 2021

    Lesson is a spell subtype found on some instant and sorcery cards in the Strixhaven set. The Lesson subtype has no special rules associated with it.
