Number of Standard bans from 2010 - 2016: 2.
Number of Standard bans from 2017 - 2020: 23.
There have been 10 cards banned for the Standard format within the past 10 months: Agent of Treachery, Fires of Invention, Cauldron Familiar, Growth Spiral, Teferi, Time Raveler, Wilderness Reclamation, Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, and now Lucky Clover, Escape to the Wild and Omnath, Locus of Creation. Somehow 2020, that little year that could, is now the year with the most bans in Standard. Yes, we have surpassed even the eight bans of Combo Winter in 1999.
Speaking of which, Omnath has also (handily!) taken the record for the quickest Standard banning of a card after its printing - a lightning-fast 18 days compared to Memory Jar's tepid 45 days.
Oh yeah, and there are still two months left in the year for them to ban something else. I guess don't buy any cards, folks. They might be banned the next day.
