Rationale

Leyline of Abundance was designated as banned in the Pioneer format because its combination of effects enabled explosive mana ramp while simultaneously providing unmana-cost devotion to key singleton cards, such as Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Its inclusion in powerful strategies allowed for the fastest, most resource-accelerated opening turns, contributing to a lack of metagame diversity and high win rates within specific archetypes.
