Formerly MTG’s flagship format, in recent years, Standard has been seriously struggling. Growing stale thanks to overpowered, but not necessarily broken cards, while prices soared, the format lost its luster. With many players happily switching to Commander, this didn’t seem like the end of the world.

As announced in a recent Weekly MTG stream, bans will now be a predetermined yearly occurrence. Alongside this, shorter ban windows will exist three weeks after a new set’s release, just in case. Through this new model of bans, Wizards hopes to provide more consistency to players in the long term.
