Rationale

Bazaar of Baghdad was designated as banned in the newly created "Type 1.5" format. Its ban was enacted as part of a comprehensive list of cards that were not previously restricted but were deemed problematic for the emerging format structure, joining other cards such as Goblin Recruiter, Hermit Druid, and Metalworker on the official ban list.
