Target player reveals three cards from their hand and you choose one of them. That player discards that card.
In addition to killing peasants, punishing subordinates, and raising an army of nightmares, Braids somehow found time for her favorite hobby: petty extortion.

Where it came from
Blackmail was originally printed in the Urza's Saga expansion in 1998, with the Ninth Edition printing in 2005 marking its inclusion in the core set. The card was designed as a discard effect, allowing players to look at an opponent's hand and force them to discard a nonland card, a mechanic that emphasizes strategic information gathering and resource denial within the black color identity.
The artwork for the Ninth Edition version was provided by Daren Bader, whose contribution is characteristic of the shift toward more digital-leaning illustrative styles during that era of the game. Ninth Edition served as a transition point for Magic: The Gathering, as it was the final core set to utilize the classic card frame before the permanent switch to the modern frame, making these cards a notable bridge between two distinct design aesthetics.
