Jegantha, the Wellspring
Timeline
Rationale
Jegantha, the Wellspring has been banned in Pioneer, Modern, and Explorer to increase format diversity and reduce the homogenization of available deck strategies. In Pioneer, the ban aims to curb the card's tendency to limit the viable card pool for various decks. Similarly, its inclusion in Modern was deemed detrimental to the overall format diversity, specifically contributing to the dominance of Boros Energy and restricting the general selection of viable card choices. The ban reflects a systemic effort to ensure that the format remains balanced and diverse by limiting cards that overly consolidate deck options.
