Reality Acid

Impact of Powerful Color Breaks

I agree you shouldn't ban a card simply because it is a color pie break, but I feel that if a card (even a bend) undermines its color's weakness or another color's strength so significantly that it becomes a key game piece, then it needs to be banned. Path to Exile comes close in Modern, undermining black's status as the best creature killer; Veil of Summer is nearly a green Dismiss for 1-mana, and Reality Acid in Pauper grants blue access to repeatable permanent removal. Powerful bends/breaks.

Most larger formats are based on key cards that are color pie breaks. You’re not asking for a tiny thing.
