How Standard is affected from the recent Standard Bans

Ramunap Red was banned for a good reason. Ramunap Red was just dominating standard. There needed to be a more variety of decks and banning Ramunap Ruins was one way to stop the deck.

This banning was kind of a surprise to most people. Though only really seeing play in Ramunap Red, it can hurt other decks. (tokens) It was designed to stop the infinite combo in standard last season, but they fixed that.

This card is great in any kind of energy deck. Especially for the 3-4 color energy builds hitting your lands is essential and without this card Energy decks would fail. Temur Energy was dominating the standard tornaments and was a really solid deck. Banning this card was a pretty good idea.

This card was also kind of a surprise ban. It shows how WOTC really hated the domination of Temur Energy. This card helps the Energy decks get energy and draw more action. Overall, this card is very good.

So... what does all this mean to standard? Well, the energy decks and Ramunap Red decks are dead, but there are still really agressive decks left. Mono-Red is still a thing and if you have the right build it could still work. You now can also brew other tribal/non-tribal aggressive decks in standard.
