Rationale

Heartless Hidetsugu was designated as a banned General in the Elder Dragon Highlander format due to its potential to inflict excessive damage from a single General. Recent proposed rule updates for Commander sought to alleviate this restriction by modifying the damage tracking rules, allowing the card to be temporarily unbanned under new guidelines.
