Lore

Why it matters

This card allows a player to look at an opponent's hand and force them to discard a noncreature, nonland card, a mechanic that provides essential information and disruption at the table. While it is classified as a common, its long-standing presence in the game makes it a fundamental tool for controlling the pace of play.

What it does

Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a noncreature, nonland card from it. That player discards that card.

Provenance

Where it came from

Duress first appeared in the 1998 Urza's Saga expansion, designed as a staple black sorcery that forces an opponent to reveal their hand and discard a noncreature, nonland card. Its mechanic became a foundational element of competitive Magic: The Gathering, offering a low-cost, efficient way to dismantle an opponent's strategy before it could be executed.

The version from Dominaria Remastered, released in 2023, utilizes artwork by Igor Kieryluk. This release was part of a curated set designed to celebrate the history of the Dominaria plane, featuring reprints with updated frames and high-fidelity art that pays homage to the game's classic aesthetic while ensuring the card remains accessible for both modern draft environments and vintage-style formats.
