Rationale

Teferi, Time Raveler has been banned or suspended in multiple formats, citing its ability to create repetitive and often oppressive play patterns and limit player interaction. In Standard and Brawl, the card was banned due to these highly limiting capabilities, a decision compounded by the departure of Wilderness Reclamation. Furthermore, the card was banned in Pioneer for overstaying its welcome in Standard, with the change intended to decrease the power level of associated archetypes such as Niv to Light decks. Separately, in Historic, Teferi, Time Raveler was suspended for deriving power from reducing opponent interaction while simultaneously protecting the board state.
