Rationale

Yawgmoth's Will has faced multiple banlist considerations due to its profound ability to generate card advantage and recursive value. Its inclusion on various banlists throughout its history was driven by its power to repeatedly draw numerous cards and facilitate game-warping combo interactions. The card's effect is considered excessive in certain competitive formats, restricting players' ability to maintain a consistent pace of play.
