Up the Beanstalk
Timeline
Rationale
Up the Beanstalk is banned in Modern and Standard due to its reliable capacity to generate substantial card advantage. The card proves extremely difficult to interact with profitably, as its replacement effect often grants the controller a positive differential exchange, which allows decks built around it to become hard for other strategies to counter. In both formats, its consistent ability to improve board state and generate value has been deemed too potent, creating negative player experiences and warping the metagame when its presence is highly prevalent.
