Rationale

Troll of Khazad-dûm was banned in Legacy due to its unique and powerful impact on deck construction, specifically within Dimir Reanimator strategies. The card allows players to subvert opportunity costs by enabling the inclusion of graveyard-synergistic cards like Reanimate and Animate Dead without requiring the typical commitment of generating large creatures or excessive discard fodder. This consistent ability has resulted in the Reanimator strategy being excessively powerful, thus impacting the overall balance and structure of the Legacy format.
