Eye of Ugin
Timeline
Rationale
In Modern, Eye of Ugin was banned due to its contribution to format imbalance, primarily by facilitating powerful draws and mana acceleration. The card's power was observed to be central to the dominance of Eldrazi-centric strategies in competitive play. By banning Eye of Ugin, designers aimed to curb the overall explosive nature of the leading decks, believing that this single restriction would better stabilize the format than alternative limitations, thereby enabling a more diverse and interactive competitive environment.
