Rulings

2021-04-16
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.
2021-04-16
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.
