Rationale

In Standard, Faceless Haven was banned because it provided significant power and resilience to monocolor aggressive archetypes. The card was deemed efficient both independently and when paired with other strategies, particularly because it offered resilience against creature sweepers and targeted removal. The ban was implemented to weaken these aggressive archetypes without fundamentally altering their core gameplay structure.
