Card face

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 was originally released in the 1998 Urza's Saga expansion, designed as a black sorcery to interact with an opponent's hand. It quickly became a staple in competitive Magic: The Gathering for its efficiency in disrupting combo and control strategies by forcing opponents to discard non-creature, non-land cards.

This specific printing appeared in the 2014 Duel Decks Anthology: Divine vs. Demonic, a collection designed to revisit the themes of the original 2009 duel decks. Steven Belledin provided the illustration for this version, utilizing a dark, atmospheric style that emphasizes the card's theme of forced psychological pressure. It remains a widely utilized utility card, valued for its functional simplicity and clarity of purpose.
