Provenance

Where it came from

Surrakar Banisher was released in 2015 as part of the Duel Decks: Elspeth vs. Kiora product. This product line was designed to provide balanced, ready-to-play decks that featured iconic planeswalkers and cards tailored to their respective color philosophies, offering players a thematic narrative experience based on the clash between the sun-champion Elspeth and the ocean-mage Kiora.

The card features artwork by Kev Walker, a prolific illustrator for the game whose style is known for its gritty, high-contrast aesthetic. The piece depicts a Surrakar—a creature native to the Zendikar plane known for consuming magical energy—in a dynamic, predatory posture. The design aligns with the creature's lore as a scavenger of the environment, intended to mechanically disrupt the board state by returning permanents to a player's hand.
