Rationale

Leovold, Emissary of Trest was banned from Commander due to its ability to violate the tenet of maintaining desirable game states. The card was deemed problematic because its effects allowed it to easily lock out opposing players from the game, running contrary to the format's goal of encouraging situations where all participants have an opportunity to play.
