Okay, sure, but they've been doing that since... what? Chronicles?
The rate of bans has dramatically increased since 2020. They even had to errata an entire new mechanic in the Ikoria set because some of the companion cards were crazy broken with the original design.
An extra wrinkle to this is that they are making bans due to how cards perform in online play, as best-of-one is a widely played format now.
I mean, I absolutely agree Best of One is an awful way to gauge card strength.
Did not know they'd ramped up bans.
