Original card, with alternate artwork and alt. flavor text from Dry Spell.

I needed discard. I needed a raise dead. I combined them like so. I'm not sure if it would have been more appropriate to just staple Mind Rot to Raise Dead, but I guess we're telling players not to hold creatures in their hand instead. Seems like a powerful spell... but the four for one can only happen at a perfect moment in the game when your opponent still has two cards in hand, and you've put two creatures in the yard.

Wasted too much time looking for artwork when I realized that the alt. art for Dry Spell would work fine. Is it me? Or did anyone else assume the artwork for Dry Spell was the same helmet as Helm of Obedience? It turns out it isn't, but I guess it doesn't hurt to make the connection anyway. Besides, Ihsan is talking about obedience's cost in the flavor. Makes sense to me.
