I just came across this old beauty, and it got me thinking: Exactly why is Braids, Cabal Minion banned from edh?

I think this deck gives a very good idea as for why she is banned. Especially why she was banned as a commander first.

To put it in words, she is not just a major gamechanger, she is also a formatchanger, which is main reason as for most cards on the edh-banlist.
