The art is cool. Its a little more splashable than Control Magic. I could see this reprinted today, the upkeep balances it out nicely.

I'm having a little trouble with the art. Is it two dragons fighting and you control the one that's glowing?

idk i like the dragon fight it just doesn't really convey "I control you"

I can explain the art. Or at least, I can tell what they meant- I don't know why they did it this way though. :p


See the black dragon? It's holding the purple dragon in a Binding Grasp, chewing on that wing. Which makes it glow, turning it to your side. That black dragon is somehow a creature-incarnation of this spell. Or his teeth are casting it. Or...yeah, it's wierd.

But that seems to be what's happening.
