Banisher Priest

Description

The 2013 Magic: The Gathering Banisher Priest foil card stands as a distinct entry in the M14 core set, carrying card number 7 and designed by Willian Murai. As a white mana uncommon, this card represents a staple of the game's early strategic landscape, offering players a reliable way to manage opposing threats during the mid-game. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal that elevates the card beyond its standard print, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish characteristic of premium MTG releases. Banisher Priest is a Human Cleric with a mana cost of {1}{W}{W} and a power and toughness of 2/2. Its primary ability allows the controller to exile a target creature an opponent controls until Banisher Priest leaves the battlefield. This temporary removal effect is highly valued in competitive play and casual formats alike, providing a tactical advantage without permanently destroying the opposing piece. Collectors often seek this card to complete their M14 sets or to build decks centered around white mana control and temporary exile strategies. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the balanced approach of the 2013 release, ensuring it remains relevant in discussions about the evolution of Magic: The Gathering card design.
