I'm really glad they finally hit Stormchaser's Talent. That card should have been banned 2 years ago. Talent and Cub have warped Standard for so long that you forget it has a card pool larger than original Modern.
Not nearly enough bans to get me back into playing the game. Fantasticar getting banned this early into a release set must mean Legacy/Vintage numbers are just absolutely abysmal now and how can you blame anyone. I don't think I've ever seen them ban a card this fast in those formats from the current set no less.
