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

Where it came from
Duress was originally released in the 1998 Urza's Saga expansion, designed as a black sorcery to penalize opponents for holding non-creature spells. It quickly became a staple in tournament play due to its efficiency in disrupting enemy strategies. The card’s role has remained consistent throughout its long history, acting as a fundamental tool for hand disruption across multiple formats.
The version included in the 2011 Premium Deck Series: Graveborn features updated artwork by Howard Lyon. This specific printing was crafted for a premium, themed preconstructed deck focused on reanimation mechanics. By utilizing a high-gloss foil treatment and evocative new illustrations, the Graveborn series sought to celebrate iconic black-aligned cards that players had relied upon for over a decade of Magic: The Gathering history.
