Rationale

In Vintage, Vexing Bauble is restricted because its inherent ability to shut down powerful spells conflicts with the format's identity as a place for the most powerful, unrestricted spells, notably Moxen, Lotuses, and Force of Will. Within Legacy, the card was banned due to its successful and powerful integration into the metagame, particularly within Dimir Reanimator, where its presence led to a concerning win rate against the format's pillar strategies.
