I personally think these are all positive bans. It’s unfortunate that bans are needed every cycle lately, but these are all good ones to me.
Breach is a card that should never have been printed. Yawgmoth’s Will was already insane, and printing the same thing for 1 mana cheaper was a huge mistake imo. This is just now finally catching up to reality. There was talk of banning Mox Opal but I think that is too premature when the obvious issue right now is Breach.
Sowing Mycospawn should never have been printed. And Troll was enabling too much efficiency for Blue/Black decks. I think both of those were the right hits right now. I know there’s tons of talk about banning Reanimate, Daze, Entomb, etc but these are absolutely the right hits for now in my opinion. I think waiting to see what a format without Troll looks like is better than hastily banning any of the core cards. I’d like to see Bowmasters gone next.

Good bans. I still hate long standard but not much to be done about that.

I‘ve actually started to like long standard, but imo this calls for more supensions (Not necessarily bans) keeping the 4-5 S-Tier decks in check to leverage on the huge card pool and take a chance at a really good meta with more variance than ever.

The format balance is healthy but it's just boring seeing the engine/staple cards for so long. Beans and Rage are perfectly fine power-wise but they just set the deck types way too much and everything has to conform to those cards. Sure, the threats have changed but the framework is stagnant
