Divest

SorceryBlack mana

Targeted discard with a narrow filter: it can only pull an artifact or creature card, which is precisely what makes it more honest than the open-ended hand attack it descends from. Where Thoughtseize takes anything but bleeds you, this surrenders breadth in exchange for hitting nothing on your end and asking nothing of your life total. The trade is the whole design: you give up the ability to strip a counterspell, a planeswalker, or a removal package, and in return you get a one-mana sorcery that always trades up against the two card types most likely to win a game on raw board impact. That restriction does real work in deck construction, because it pushes the spell toward the decks that fear early threats and combo pieces rather than the ones trying to pre-empt a control mirror. The reveal clause is information you keep for free; even when the opponent has nothing for you to take, you have read their hand. This is the disciplined member of black's targeted-discard family: the version built for opponents whose game plan runs through bodies and equipment rather than through the stack, and the one that asks you to know what you are hunting before you cast it.
