Rationale

Worldgorger Dragon was banned in the "Type 1.5" format due to its potential to be part of a two-card combination that could draw the game, with subsequent third cards increasing the chance of an instant-win combo. In Legacy, the card was banned due to a powerful interaction with Animate Dead. Later, in Commander, the card was removed from the banlist because its applications were deemed too narrow to cause format-warping issues, classifying it as merely another infinite-combo piece.
