Rationale

Reckoner Bankbuster was banned in Standard because its strength and general ubiquity as a colorless card-advantage engine allowed it to slot into diverse color and strategy combinations. Its consistent power level pushed out other card-advantage options across the format and put undue emphasis on creature sizing, thereby diminishing the power of non-creature cards. The restriction was enacted to promote diversity within the format and restore strength to card types other than creatures.
