Badgermole Cub
Timeline
Rationale
Badgermole Cub was banned in Standard due to its ability to function as a format-defining, cheap threat. The card's power level allowed its controllers to establish an insurmountable mana advantage, thereby placing immense pressure on opponents to efficiently answer it. This inherent efficiency demanded that all competing strategies prioritize mana efficiency, which compressed the format and accelerated the game to an unhealthy degree, leading to concerns about overall metagame diversity and speed.
