Rationale

Worldfire was banned in Commander due to its problematic interaction with the format, specifically the ability to be cast even after the spell resolving, which contradicted the intended flow of the game. Following subsequent re-evaluations, the card was unbanned because the high cost and effort required to make Worldfire effective mitigate its impact, and the format was assessed as able to handle the card's use through social contract and pregame discussion.
