Who does reveal hand reveal to?

Asked by Baconfish 4 years ago

If I'm in a multiplayer game and drop a Collective Brutality on one player to discard a card from his hand, he will have to reveal it. It doesn't say specifically that the hand is revealed to me alone though, so I'm under the assumption that every player gets to see my opponents hand. Is that correct?

Reveal means to the entire table. Compare to a card like Gitaxian Probe or Peek , which instructs you to specifically look at the hand.

To be specific though

• 701.15. Reveal
• 701.15a To reveal a card, show that card to all players for a brief time. If an effect causes a card to be revealed, it remains revealed for as long as necessary to complete the parts of the effect that card is relevant to. If the cost to cast a spell or activate an ability includes revealing a card, the card remains revealed from the time the spell or ability is announced until the time it leaves the stack. If revealing a card causes a triggered ability to trigger, the card remains revealed until that triggered ability leaves the stack. If that ability isn’t put onto the stack the next time a player would receive priority, the card ceases to be revealed.
• 701.15b Revealing a card doesn’t cause it to leave the zone it’s in.
• 701.15c If cards in a player’s library are shuffled or otherwise reordered, any revealed cards that are reordered stop being revealed and become new objects.
• 701.15d Some effects instruct a player to look at one or more cards. Looking at a card follows the same rules as revealing a card, except that the card is shown only to the specified player.
