Rationale

Proft's Eidetic Memory was banned in Standard due to its capacity to function as a powerful engine card within increasingly synergistic competitive decks. Although originally designed with fewer available synergies, its combination with other recent Standard cards, such as Winternight Stories and Quantum Riddler, allowed it to form a highly successful core component of the Izzet Cauldron deck. The card’s strength was exacerbated by the increasing density of strong interactions available in the format, leading to a predictable combo ceiling and making it a prohibitive element for the overall diversity and balance of the Standard metagame.
