Where it came from
Banishing Stroke was originally printed as a rare in the Avacyn Restored set in 2012, designed as a thematic representation of the card miracle mechanic that allowed players to cast it for a significantly reduced cost if it was the first card drawn during their turn. The card reflects the set's gothic horror aesthetic, depicting the dramatic expulsion of a malevolent spirit, which was a core narrative focus of the Innistrad block.
The Modern Masters 2017 version, featuring art by Greg Staples, was included as part of a curated set designed to bring high-value and mechanically significant cards back into circulation for the Modern competitive format. As a reprint, it retained the original function and flavor while updating the visual presentation to align with the more refined aesthetic standards of the later set, serving as a tactical tool for white-based control decks needing efficient, non-destructive removal.
