Does a 'discard 1 card' effect always take the card from your own hand?
The designer said the two wordings read the same and that discard applies to the card's owner by default.
Yes, unless the text names your opponent. Discard takes a card from the hand of the player the effect applies to, which by default is the owner of the card, and that owner chooses which card goes. 'You discard' and 'Discard 1 card' read the same. Discard never takes a card from a stack, and a discard the player cannot meet does nothing.
