Daze
Timeline
Rationale
Daze was banned in Pauper due to its role in powering blue tempo decks. It was identified as part of a highly synergistic group of free spells, along with Gush and Gitaxian Probe, which, when combined with efficient cantrips, provided blue decks with strong mana efficiency and card flow. The card was specifically cited for allowing these decks to cast cantrips while setting up their game plan, minimizing "shields down" moments against opposing strategies. The ban was enacted as part of a necessary multi-card action to weaken the overall blue tempo advantage in the format, without eliminating the core synergy built around cantrips.
