What it does
Target opponent reveals their hand. You may choose a nonland card from it. If you do, that player discards that card. If you don't, that player discards two cards.
Ravnica would be safer if mere coin was all the Dimir could steal.

Where it came from
Nightsnare was released in 2015 as part of the Magic Origins set, which served as a narrative bridge exploring the backstories of five iconic Planeswalkers. The set was designed to introduce new players to the lore of the multiverse while providing mechanical complexity for veteran players. As a common-rarity sorcery, Nightsnare functions as a utility piece intended for limited play environments, focusing on hand disruption and the graveyard-related mechanics that were prevalent in the set's black-aligned archetypes.
The card's visual identity was crafted by artist Min Yum, who utilized a dark, atmospheric aesthetic to emphasize the theme of tactical deception and shadow. By focusing on the evocative imagery of a mystical trap, Yum aimed to capture the essence of black-aligned magic within the game. The card was received as a functional, low-impact tool within the broader Magic Origins ecosystem, valued primarily for its specific role in enabling discard strategies during draft and sealed tournaments.
