- Wizards of the Coast2020-03-09Veil of Summer was banned in historic on March 9, 2020. Veil of Summer is a powerful card that is difficult to interact with in an advantageous way. After observing the health of the format with and without these cards, we've decided to upgrade the suspensions to bans.

- Wizards of the Coast2019-11-18Veil of Summer was banned in standard on November 18, 2019. Veil of Summer is also playing an important role in preventing the metagame from being able to self-correct. It's too much more efficient than the other cards in its cycle, and by comparison to other tools available in Standard, gives green decks too much resilience against removal and disruption.
