Rationale

Crusade was banned in all sanctioned tournament play due to its depiction, text, or combination thereof, which was classified as racist or culturally offensive. This decision was enacted as part of a broader review of the game's history aimed at removing content deemed racist, thus prohibiting its use across all official formats.
