Rationale

Fall from Favor was banned in Pauper because its combination of creature removal and card advantage generated an adverse effect on the metagame. The card was cited for disproportionately emphasizing the monarch mechanic and slowing the game, thereby pushing out aggressive creature decks. Its restriction was implemented to provide more space for aggressive strategies that punish slower gameplay and reduce the early-game importance of the monarch condition.
