Rationale

In the Elder Dragon Highlander format, Ring of Ma'rûf was moved from the Banned List to a restricted status. This change was implemented to restore balance after several other cards were unbanned, acknowledging that "remove-from-the-game effects" are highly impactful in the Highlander environment. Under its current restriction, Ring of Ma'rûf may only be used to retrieve cards that have been removed from the game during the match, preventing access to sideboards, binders, or collections.
