Where it came from
Favorable Winds was released in 2012 as part of the Avacyn Restored expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set focused on the gothic horror world of Innistrad, specifically depicting the return of the archangel Avacyn. This enchantment was designed to support blue-aligned flying creature strategies, offering a straightforward mechanical buff that rewarded players for fielding aerial units during the set's limited and constructed formats.
The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Winona Nelson, who provided a visual interpretation of mystical, airy gusts manifesting around a fleet of ships. Her design intent was to capture the ephemeral and empowering nature of the enchantment, utilizing a palette that aligned with the set's high-fantasy, celestial aesthetic. The card was well-received by players for its efficiency and remained a staple of blue 'flying tribal' archetypes for years to come.
