Rationale

Divine Intervention has historical records listing it among the Restricted List in the early Convocation rules, limiting its count to one copy. In the Type I.5 format, the card was banned because its inclusion on the Type I Restricted List necessitated its prohibition. This status reflected the governing design principle of Type I.5, which dictates that any card banned or restricted in either the Type I or Type II environments is banned from play in the combined Type I.5 format.
