Black Lotus is banned in most Magic: The Gathering formats because it's incredibly powerful, granting three mana for zero cost, which creates an unfair, game-breaking early advantage, making games feel luck-dependent on who draws it first. It's part of the "Power Nine" and its extreme rarity and game-warping strength make it legal only in the Vintage format, where it's restricted to one copy per deck.
