Settle the Wreckage Rules Text & Legality

Settle the Wreckage

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.

There was a hiss, a gushing whirl, and then silence. And that was the end of Smaug and Esgaroth.

Settle the Wreckage is legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Pauper.

    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).
