Duress Price

Updated 2026-07-31

Duress in 7th Edition is the black-bordered common printing of one of Magic's most played discard spells, from the first core set to feature black borders on all cards. 7th Edition was notable for its distinctive watermark treatment in card text boxes, making it visually distinct from other Duress printings across the card's many appearances. The card sees consistent play in Legacy and Commander as a one-mana hand disruption spell. 7th Edition was printed in significant quantities, so supply is not scarce, but the black-bordered 7th Edition commons occupy a specialty collector position among players who prefer the aesthetic of cards from that era. The seven-day and thirty-day windows show no price movement, consistent with a widely available card where price reflects steady, low-volume demand rather than momentum. This is a utility-card position held by players seeking the 7th Edition-specific printing, not a speculative hold.
