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

Where it came from
Duress is a classic black sorcery in Magic: The Gathering that has been a staple of the game since its introduction in the 1998 Urza's Saga set. The version from the Dragons of Tarkir expansion, released in 2015, marks the card's reappearance in a block centered around a time-altered timeline where dragons remained the dominant force in the world. As a card that forces an opponent to reveal their hand and discard a non-creature, non-land card, it has long been valued for its strategic utility in competitive play.
The art for this specific printing was created by Johannes Voss, a prolific artist known for his ethereal and light-infused aesthetic. For this iteration, Voss aimed to capture the essence of psychological pressure and dark influence consistent with the color identity of black mana. The reception of the card among players was positive, as it provided a budget-friendly and accessible way to include a high-tier sideboard card in decks while showcasing the distinct, high-fantasy art direction of the Tarkir plane.
