Dispossess

Banishment Card Flavor

I'm curious... why are the "banishment" cards (cards that exile all copies of a certain card from your opponent's deck, like Lost Legacy, Dispossess, and Infinite Obliteration,) black cards? I might be misunderstanding the ability, but to me from a flavor standpoint it feels like the cards are being banished or locked away, which feels like something white would do more than something black would do. Any chance you could help clarify how this ability fits into the color pie?

The ability is flavored as a lobotomy. I’m ripping the knowledge of the spell out of your head. It’s pretty black.
