Distress
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
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.

Every version of Distress
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 publishes none for some of them. Click a card's art to chart that version's price above.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Distress. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
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.
