Where it came from
Dark Banishing was originally released in the Mirage expansion in 1996 as a core piece of black-aligned removal magic. By the time it was reprinted in the Seventh Edition core set in 2001, it had become a hallmark of the game's design philosophy, representing the straightforward, destructive nature of black mana that allows players to destroy non-black creatures at instant speed.
The art featured in the Seventh Edition printing was provided by artist Quinton Hoover, known for his distinct, lyrical style that prioritized mood and character emotion. His illustration for this card captures the ominous, ethereal essence of black magic, fitting seamlessly into the refined, white-bordered aesthetic that defined the Seventh Edition core set era.
