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

Where it came from
Settle the Wreckage is a sorcery card appearing in the Magic: The Gathering set Ixalan, released in 2017. While the card is often associated with thematic expansions, it originated within the design philosophy of the Ixalan block, which centered on exploration and tribal warfare. The card was crafted by Wizards of the Coast design teams to serve as a powerful defensive tool for white-aligned decks, allowing players to exchange an opponent's attacking creatures for basic lands as a strategic deterrent.
The card’s striking artwork was illustrated by Magali Villeneuve, a renowned fantasy artist known for her contribution to high-fantasy aesthetics. Her design choices focus on the visual impact of a collapsing structure, capturing the chaotic energy described in the card's mechanical function. Upon its release, the card became a staple in various constructed formats, recognized by the community for its high-impact interaction and balance between power and tactical trade-offs.
