Provenance

Where it came from

Pacifism originated in the 1996 Mirage set as a common enchantment designed to neutralize threats without destroying them. The card mechanics reflect a pacifist philosophy, stripping a creature of its ability to attack or block, which serves as a foundational example of white mana's restrictive control style in Magic: The Gathering. Its enduring utility led to numerous reprints, cementing it as a staple for limited formats and budget-friendly constructed decks.

The version included in the 2014 Duel Decks Anthology: Divine vs. Demonic collection features artwork by Dan Dos Santos. This specific iteration was commissioned to fit the thematic clash between celestial forces and infernal powers, utilizing a distinct, illustrative style that highlights the enchantment's ethereal nature. The Anthology set served as a retrospective release, bringing back iconic cards from previous Duel Decks to celebrate the history of the game's asymmetrical battle mechanics.
