Timeline

• February 5, 2010 - Released
• April 8, 2016 - Status changed to Restricted in Vintage

Rationale

In Vintage, the metagame has been noted as imbalanced, with Mishra's Workshop-based decks being significantly overrepresented and reducing format diversity. To address this imbalance without restricting the namesake card, Lodestone Golem is restricted. This limitation aims to stabilize the competitive environment, allowing Workshop-based decks to remain powerful while ensuring the overall format achieves a more diverse and balanced play experience.
