What does 'restricted' mean in MTG?
In MTG, 'restricted' refers to a specific rule in some play formats where you can only have one copy of a restricted card in your entire deck, including your sideboard. This is mostly seen in Vintage format, where the power level of cards is so high that limiting some of the most powerful ones to a single copy helps keep the game balanced and fair.

Restricted means you can only use one. It's like being told you can only have one slice of pizza at a party.
Restricted? It means Vintage format is gonna make you pick your favorites carefully. Only one of each superhero in your team!
Honestly, 'restricted' keeps the game from turning into who has the most broken card wins. It's a necessary evil.
