What it does
Target player reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card.
Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2014-02-01
If you target yourself with this spell, you must reveal your entire hand to the other players just as any other player would.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

3 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
