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 for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Mike Elliott, the card was created as a powerful tool for black decks, offering a way to dismantle an opponent's strategy by revealing their hand and stripping away non-creature, non-land cards. Its enduring efficacy stems from its low casting cost and the critical information it provides to the player.
The EMA-86 printing is a specific iteration found within 'The List,' a rotating selection of reprints featured in Set Boosters. This version utilizes the artwork originally commissioned for the Eternal Masters set, which was illustrated by Christopher Rush. Known for his foundational contributions to the game's aesthetic, Rush's rendition provides a stark, iconic visual that emphasizes the card's theme of forced confrontation and magical interference.
