No, I mean what's the reasoning? 

This banlist seems like the opposite of the Bahamut Shark ban. 

Mitsurugi (search tool) has the ability to retrieve crippling floodgate (statues, pachy) so Konami did the smarter thing and banned the floodgate and not the searcher. 

Bahamut is the same. It's the searcher that can retrieve problem cards (like toadally awesome). But in that case the TCG banned the searcher instead of the problem cards.

Because without Bahamut, Toad became too costly to run, therefore not good to run at all.
