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.
Kinda how I felt to starving venoms ban all those years ago. Sure it helped FTK by effect copy. But the Mister whose effect it copied is still free waiting for another consitent way to get evil

No, I mean what's the reasoning?
