Provenance

Where it came from

Repel the Darkness was first released in the Ultimate Masters set in December 2018. This set was designed as a celebration of the game's history, featuring a curated selection of powerful and popular cards that had seen play across various formats. As an uncommon card, it fits into the set's broader mission of providing utility and thematic cohesion to the Draft environment while offering players a chance to obtain iconic artwork on classic spells.

The card features artwork by Christopher Moeller, a long-time contributor to the game known for his atmospheric and narrative-driven style. Moeller’s design for this piece focuses on the stark contrast between light and shadow, utilizing a dramatic composition to evoke the feeling of a protective ward. Upon its release, it was well-received by fans of the artist's aesthetic and served as a functional tool for players looking to stall aggressive opponents during gameplay.
