Where it came from
Banishing Stroke was released in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering expansion Avacyn Restored. The set was designed to explore the thematic return of the archangel Avacyn to the gothic horror world of Innistrad. As a miracle card, it utilized a unique mechanic introduced in this set that allowed players to cast spells for a reduced cost if it was the first card drawn during their turn, representing a sudden, divine intervention.
The card’s illustration was created by artist Svetlin Velinov. He leaned into the set's high-fantasy, celestial aesthetic, depicting a powerful surge of white magic purging a threat. The design was well-received by players for its tactical flexibility in control decks, serving as a versatile removal spell that could address almost any nonland permanent, embodying the set’s focus on the balance between light and shadow.
