banned list

Prohibited items catalog

A banned list is an official roster of items, people, or things prohibited from use or participation in a particular context.

The term appears most often in competitive gaming and trading card games, where certain cards or strategies are deemed too powerful: The new expansion put three cards on the banned list.

Sports leagues maintain banned lists of prohibited substances.

The concept extends to any formally maintained catalog of what's not allowed.
