Rationale

The card Cloudpost has been banned in the Modern and Pauper formats. In Pauper, its ban was instituted because the card accelerates mana and provides a mana source by converting "free spells" into mana generators, a combination that was deemed excessive when used with other "free spell mechanic" cards. Its status in Modern reflects concerns over its power level and role in rapid resource generation.
