Wizards of the Coast has banned three cards in the MTG Standard format to curb the dominance of Rakdos Midrange. The banned cards are Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki, Invoke Despair, and Reckoner Bankbuster. In addition to the bans, Wizards is delaying the rotation cycle for a year, allowing around 1000 cards to enter the Standard environment, and changing up their ban schedule. These changes are aimed at creating a more diverse and interesting card pool and developing archetypes over time. It remains to be seen if these changes will work, but Wizards is committed to making the format successful once again.
