Why are laminated bats outlawed for use in matches under MCC rules?
The answer is that the process of laminating the bat can if done right create a more powerful blade.

One of the methods is to create a bigger bat by using a drier piece of wood on the back to give a bigger bat and a lower density blade.
Here is an example of how extreme you can go if you want to create a bigger bat with a normal weight, the Liger weighs 2.11 and has 54mm edges.
It is for sale if someone wants to make me an offer, I've never been able to get another despite them making this one for me as a sample.
Is this what people are looking for with a laminated bat?
