Banishing Light

Description

The 2024 Magic: The Gathering The List release of Banishing Light offers collectors a unique opportunity to engage with a strategic white enchantment originally designed for competitive play. Identified by the code KHC-19, this card belongs to The List subset, a special series within the Magic catalog that provides access to powerful cards from previous eras in a modernized format. The design prominently features the artistic work of Willian Murai, whose distinctive style defines the visual identity of this reprint. As an enchantment with a mana value of three, Banishing Light has long been valued for its ability to temporarily remove key nonland permanents from an opponent's side of the board. The card’s rules text allows the controller to exile a target nonland permanent until this enchantment leaves the battlefield, making it a versatile tool in various game formats. This KHC-19 release preserves the original rules text and flavor, which references the mythos of Heliod and the Theriad. For investors and hobbyists, The List cards represent a bridge between past innovations and current gameplay, offering a tangible connection to the game's evolving narrative.
