I had never heard of Companion until now. How bad could it be?

"Thus [Lurrus] was banned in Vintage, obtaining the infamy of being the first card banned in this format for power level reasons since Mind Twist was banned in 1996."

Oh.

Lurrus in vintage is a little extreme because in vintage it was more of an issue of vintage playable cards are all obscenely broken and Lurrus just let you replay obscenely broken cards for basically no cost.

The bigger problem was that in other formats you could build decks around companions like

which played basically nothing but even costed clone effects to keep spinning the wheels over and over again.

While with normal combos you could be screwed by never drawing your combo piece, companions were always virtually in your hand and completely immune to discard like thoughtseize which made the games look exactly the same every single time.
