The lists of excluded and restricted cards are the instrument that keeps competitive play balanced and strategically varied. Every format draws up its own set of limitations, meant to hold back strategies that dominate everything else, combinations that end a game on the spot, and patterns of play that leave the opponent nothing to interact with.

Format rules and the difference between the two states

A banned card cannot appear in a single copy, neither in the main deck nor in the sideboard. A list that includes one is not legal for sanctioned events. A restricted card is limited to one copy across main deck and sideboard combined; that state is characteristic of Vintage, where it keeps iconic cards playable without four identical copies flattening the format.

To check where a card stands in each environment, go straight to the list you need: the constructed competitive formats are the Standard banlist, the Modern banlist and the Pioneer banlist. For the eternal formats, played with the whole history of the game, there are the Legacy banlist and the Vintage banlist. For multiplayer and the alternative formats, the Commander banlist, the Pauper banlist and the Premodern banlist.

Building a deck and checking what is legal

Before settling on a deck or buying cards for it, it is worth making sure every choice is legal. Any revision to the official lists can reshape the metagame, blunting some archetypes and bringing back options nobody was playing. Following the announcements also keeps you from spending on a card about to be restricted, and lets you catch an unbanning as it happens. While planning, it pays to look at what is coming in the spoilers as well: new mechanics are the most frequent reason a list changes at all.

Frequently asked questions about banned and restricted cards

Can I play a card in another format if it is banned in one?

Yes. The lists are entirely independent of one another, so a card banned in Modern can be perfectly legal in Legacy or Commander.

Can a restricted card go in the deck and in the sideboard at the same time?

No: the single-copy limit counts the main deck and the sideboard together.

Do unofficial formats have banlists of their own?

Yes. Community formats such as Premodern keep their own lists, drawn up independently of the circuit Wizards of the Coast sanctions.
