Provenance

Where it came from

Dehydration was originally printed in the Mirage set in 1996, designed as a common blue enchantment to provide players with a way to neutralize enemy creatures. The spell reflects the game's focus on color-coded mechanical identities, where blue represents control and the manipulation of water or life force to incapacitate threats.

The Tenth Edition version, released in 2007, featured updated card frames and served as a core set inclusion to maintain the card's availability for new players. The illustration for this specific printing, created by artist Dave Dorman, uses a stark, visceral aesthetic to depict the magical draining of vitality, aligning with the functional purpose of the card in the game's ecosystem.
