Rationale

Expropriate was identified as a powerful card due to its ability to end games instantly by granting an extra turn while allowing the removal of multiple permanents. This capability led to its inclusion on the Game Changers list, indicating a high level of impact in Commander. Subsequent analysis of the Game Changers list determined that its high resource cost and overall high mana value made it a candidate for removal, shifting the list's philosophy toward cards that disrupt or warp gameplay in the early stages of the game.
