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 introduced in the 1998 Urza's Saga set, designed by Mike Elliott as a staple discard spell for black mana decks. Its inclusion in the 2009 Duel Decks: Divine vs. Demonic collection served to highlight the quintessential mechanics of black-aligned cards. This specific version utilized new, evocative artwork by Greg Staples, who aimed to visualize the psychological weight of the spell's effect on an opponent's hand.
The Duel Decks series was curated by Wizards of the Coast to provide balanced, themed gameplay experiences directly out of the box, pitting opposing color philosophies against one another. By featuring Duress within the Demonic deck, the developers reinforced the thematic identity of the set, grounding the card in its established role as a powerful, disruptive tool that has remained a foundational element of competitive Magic: The Gathering strategy for decades.
