Rulings
- : 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.
- : Which creature or planeswalker will be sacrificed is determined as Break Under Pressure resolves.
- : 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.
