Rationale

In Standard, Stormchaser's Talent was banned due to its critical role in enabling the Izzet Prowess strategy. As a one-mana card, the design allowed the card to provide excessive utility, facilitating both aggressive early-game starts and persistent late-game power through interactions with cards such as *Boomerang Basics*. Its combination of early- and late-game strength was deemed inappropriate for a card of its low cost, necessitating the restriction to slow the overall pace of the format and improve metagame diversity.
