===Banned and restricted cards=== * <c>Winota, Joiner of Forces</c> asks for cheap non-Humans to cheat out powerful Humans, which resulted in decks attempting to rush out as many copies of <c>Agent of Treachery</c> as possible. While this was alleviated in Standard with the banning of Agent, such an effect only gained power with larger formats, and it was hence banned in Brawl in May and Historic in July β it was in fact so powerful the Historic suspension was done under emergency timing.<ref>{{DailyRef|news/suspension-update-historic-digital-format-2020-06-08|Suspension Update for Historic Digital Format|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|June 8, 2020}}</ref> Winota's rise to power in [[Pioneer]] was more gradual, coming to be seen as balanced for a good while. However, it quickly proved too much for the reduced Pioneer format [[Explorer]] shortly after its introduction to ''Arena'', and so the card was once again banned in May 2022.<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-digital/may-11-2022-banned-and-restricted-announcement|May 11, 2022 Banned and Restricted Announcement|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|May 11, 2022}}</ref> This was a sign of things to come, for Winota was banned in Pioneer a month later.<ref>{{DailyRef|news/june-7-2022-banned-and-restricted-announcement-2022-06-07|June 7, 2022 Banned and Restricted Announcement|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|June 7, 2022}}</ref> Historic would later rebalance the card so that it triggers only once per turn, thereby permitting its return to the format.<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-digital/alchemy-rebalancing-july-7-2022-2022-07-01|Alchemy Rebalancing for July 27, 2022|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|July 5, 2022}}</ref> *{{Card|Drannith Magistrate}} was a catch-all hate piece for Companions, [[Escape]] and [[Adventure|Adventures]], among other things, but the ability catching Commanders was considered generally unfun for Brawl, where it was banned in May 2020. Ironically, its application for stopping Companions was prevented after the rules change.
