Hullbreacher
Timeline
Rationale
Hullbreacher is banned in the Commander format due to its potential to combine defensively with offensive effects. The combination allows for the easy stripping of opponents' hands while simultaneously accelerating the controller's own board presence. The ruling cites concerns regarding this play pattern when paired with mass-draw effects and other highly potent casual staples. Similar cards, such as Notion Thief and Narset, Parter of Veils, remain permitted in the format because additional limitations, such as required color costs or sorcery speed, sufficiently mitigate their impact.
