Provenance

Where it came from

Banishing Light was first released in the Journey into Nyx set in 2014, designed as a staple enchantment for Magic: The Gathering to provide players with a versatile, albeit temporary, removal option. The card features art by Johannes Voss, whose work on the Nyx-themed cards aimed to capture the ethereal, starry aesthetic of the Theros plane, blending divine imagery with the mechanics of imprisonment.

The Friday Night Magic version, released later in 2014, was distributed as a promotional prize for participants in local game store tournaments. This specific printing features a unique foil treatment and the iconic Friday Night Magic logo, making it a sought-after aesthetic upgrade for players who enjoy using premium versions of utility cards in their decks.
