Abstract: We study a class of Wilsonian formulations of non-Abelian gauge theories in algebraic non-covariant gauges where the Wilsonian infrared cutoff $Lambda$ is inserted as a mass term for the propagating fields. In this way the Ward-Takahashi identities are preserved to all scales. Nevertheless BRST-invariance in broken and the theory is gauge-dependent and unphysical at $Lambdaeq0$. Then we discuss the infrared limit $Lambdao0$. We show that the singularities of the axial gauge choice are avoided in planar gauge and light-cone gauge. In addition the issue of infrared divergences is addressed in some explicit example. Finally the rectangular Wilson loop of size $2Limes2T$ is evaluated at lowest order in perturbation theory and a non commutativity between the limits $Lambdao0$ and $Toinfty$ is pointed out.
