Banishing Stroke, Instant, designed by Igor Kieryluk first released in May, 2020 in the set Avacyn Restored and was printed exactly in 4 different ways.
A control deck that focuses on removing key threats from the opponent's board would benefit from including Banishing Stroke. While it may not be the most efficient removal spell, its Miracle cost provides flexibility and surprise factor. However, there are arguably better removal options available, such as Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares, which offer more immediate and unconditional removal. Banishing Stroke could see play in decks looking for additional removal options or in decks that can reliably trigger its Miracle cost.

It’s important to reveal a card with miracle before it is mixed with the other cards in your hand.

Multiple card draws are always treated as a sequence of individual card draws. For example, if you haven’t drawn any cards yet during a turn and cast a spell that instructs you to draw three cards, you’ll draw them one at a time. Only the first card drawn this way may be revealed and cast using its miracle ability.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a miracle cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

You cast the card with miracle during the resolution of the triggered ability. Ignore any timing rules based on the card’s type.

You don’t have to reveal a drawn card with miracle if you don’t wish to cast it at that time.
07/13/18
You still draw the card, whether you use the miracle ability or not. Any ability that triggers whenever you draw a card, for example, will trigger. If you don’t cast the card using its miracle ability, it will remain in your hand.
