Rationale

Felidar Guardian was banned in Pioneer due to its synergy with cards such as Leyline of Abundance and Oath of Nissa, which contributed to problematically high win rates and was deemed most likely to break with existing or future card additions. Furthermore, the card's interaction with Saheeli Rai was noted as a persistent concern regarding metagame stability in Standard.
