What it does
When this enchantment enters, exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until this enchantment leaves the battlefield.
Before all went Aragorn with the Flame of the West—Andúril, like a new fire kindled, Narsil reforged as deadly as of old. And upon his brow was the Star of Elendil.

Where it came from
Banishing Light was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering Tales of Middle-earth Commander set in 2023. Originally debuted in the Journey into Nyx expansion, this reprint was reimagined to fit the aesthetic of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, serving as a versatile removal spell that exiles nonland permanents until the card leaves the battlefield.
The artwork for this specific iteration was illustrated by Greg Staples, who focused on capturing the ethereal and binding nature of light-based magic within the context of Middle-earth. The card design maintains the mechanical identity of white-aligned enchantment-based removal, while its visual presentation reflects the high-fantasy motifs synonymous with the collaborative set between Wizards of the Coast and Middle-earth Enterprises.
