Cards banned as part of the next "early rotation" window will not count.
Answers that do not refer to a card in standard will resolve N/A. (Obvious typos will be corrected.)
The August 10th B&R once again did not say that it was an early rotation, so badgermole cub resolves YES. (Gran Gran and stormchasers talent would have also resolved yes if they were banned.) https://www.magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/banned-and-restricted-august-10-2026
Yesterday's B&R did not say that it was early rotation for standard. https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/banned-and-restricted-june-29-2026
Since they said they would clearly indicate which announcements are early rotations, this question is reopening.
(It also included no standard bans.)
