The Banned List refers to cards you can not use in tournaments, competitions, or any sanctioned match. If
a card appears on the banned list for your chosen format, then you may
not include that card in your deck or sideboard. Doing so makes your
deck illegal to play in any sanctioned tournaments for that format.
Cards are usually banned from play if they enable a deck or play
style that heavily skews the play environment. What does that mean? If
the card were legal, a competitive player either must be playing it, or must be specifically targeting it with his or her own strategies. Some cards are banned because they have proven to simply be too
powerful in their respective format. While hundreds of hours are spent
rigorously play testing sets before their release, the complexity of
Magic makes it nearly impossible to accurately predict all the ways the
new cards interact with older ones.
