Can someone explain why this card was finally banned?

It's a 1/2 for 1 with an activated ability, and also counts as an enchantment meaning that it triggers constellation/eerie, but that can't be too powerful, right?

So they've been talking about banning dockside extortionist for 3 years?

It's probably been demanded to be banned for 5 years (it was printed in 2019).

Been years since I played magic but anything to do with artifact creatures is broken like this + memnite you could draw so many cards.

If you combo it with the janky and underused Dockside Extortionist, it effectively becomes a delayed "draw a card for each artifact and enchantment your opponents control" since you can sacrifice the treasures, which is really good as long as you have mana:derpthumbsup:

Yawgmoth printed as a creature card, with a nearly free version of the ability you were saying was powerful at a cost of 2.:marseymindblown:
