In a mono-black deck, by the time you can cast this, you've basically get to empty your opponents hand. SUH-WEET!

Like the effect, HATE the art! What exactly is this depicting? He's puking up his identity? Where's the MIND part coming from. In a set of remarkably beautiful cards, this one stinks like Bog Imp poo!

In mono-black this is nearly a Mind Twist and Mind Twist is banned in Legacy. Although it's weaker in multi-colored decks, I'm surprised this was printed.

This card has had a massive effect on some of my games, but most of the time my opponent has no cards left in his hand.

An extremely devastating card. I believe this is what makes vampires playable.

Seriously love the card with what effect it does to my opponents. Tapped out and time for the vamps to roam

This card is really strong and a typical black card. About time we had this. XD

1/2 of the time, this will win the game. 1/4 of the time, you might as well play Three Tragedies for the amount of cards your opponent has in their hand. 1/4 of the time, it has no effect whatsoever. This can be a bomb, but only some of the time. 4/5.

Whenever you play this it may as well be "discard entire hand" if you run mono black. But normally, unless you are playing a control/draw heavy deck, thats 2 cards, if not less. Not truly worth it IMO. Only time it'd really be useful is against decks with lots of draw, and that normally means counters.

This card just ends games. Good in main deck and sideboards alike.

This is a mono-black staple. Throw this in your deck if you want to win.

@DyadyaIstvan: Completely agree with you. The art of the other versions makes much more sense.

Playing a mono back deck without this card is like trying to play one without swamps. For that reason this card gets .5/5. Mana should be the only thing that has to be in every deck, not cards that take the variety and fun out of the game.

You rated it low because it's good, rillaan? :\ This is conditional. Your opponent must have a hand for it to be devastating. And now with things like Vengevine and the massive amount of Black and White recursion cards your opponent may want some of that stuff in their graveyard. This card is great but it isn't taking the "fun out of the game".

This is incredible! I've played mono black for half a year and few cards can match the evil feeling you get inside when you play this, making the opponent discard his entire hand, leaving a carefully planned scheme of his in a sad hell bent state. This is black as only black can be, so incredibly cruel and wicked, one of the few cards that actually makes me feel bad when I'm playing it.I was once playing a game against an opponent, I had 5 swamps and this, I asked "how many cards you got?" he replied "5, you've got a mind rot?" I couldn't help but smile while I played this and won the game 2 turns after, kinda feeling like I had done something wicked. Why tinker with 1 card removals that often cannot find a target when you can destroy their entire hand? If oyu play mono black, do not hestitate in competitions. In casual, I would maybe hestitate a bit, since it can make your friends sad ^^.

One of the only reasons I would ever use Sign in Blood on my opponent. Use it to load up my opponent's hand with cards, bring in two Liliana's Caress, and then this on turn 5. INSTAKILL!!!

Absolute endgame card. Great against any opponent holding 3 or more cards.

I've never been able to see it in its true potential, but I can see this card being buttock-twistingly cruel in mono-black EDH.

The way people are playing fast and loose with the graveyard basically being a second hand. . . what's the point in playing this?
