Commons / uncommons are easy to pick up at my LGS. When the new set is coming out, what commons and uncommons are you looking to get for your EDH decks?
My top picks:
Catacomb Sifter might find a home in Sidisi, Brood Tyrant
Mortuary Mire for Sidisi.
Zulaport Cutthroat for Sidisi as well.
Hedron Archive. Decent rock? Might get more than one of these.
What are your top commons/uncommons picks?
Blighted Woodland and Sanctum of Ugin (yes it's a rare, shut up!) will make it into my Titania, Protector of Argoth deck alongside Sylvan Scrying, Natural Connection, and maybe Titan's Presence. I run quite a few Eldrazi in the deck, and I could see adding a few more to run a small Eldrazi theme.
For other decks Hedron Archive is probably going into Daretti, Scrap Savant and Sydri, Galvanic Genius, so too might Scour from Existence. Some of the Awaken spells are interesting for Vorel of the Hull Clade, but I'm not so sure yet. The rest are rares that I'm looking to add.

I likeRetreat to Kazandu and Retreat to Coralhelm in some decks, too. Stasis Snare, Scythe Leopard, the 1 mana 2/1 ally, Ulamog's Nullifier, Hedron Archive, Horribly Awry and Transgress the Mind should be played

One of each of the Ingest Eldrazi are going into an Oona, Queen of the Fae "mill into exile" deck. I have always hated mill because if you happen to mill out an Eldrazi Titan or the BS Colossus then you pretty much lose the game. Miling into exile could be a fun gimmick deck to bring out now and then. Until now, there haven't been enough enablers to really make Oona work as planned. This will be the Rise of the Milldrazi.

Really looking to pick up foil playsets of the uncommon lands (blighted woodland and the like) as well as some Sylvan Scryings. The cycle of common nonbasic lands are pretty sweet too.

I can basically build a budget Mayael the Anima Eldrazi EDH deck now. Which will probably happen, let's face it. Ruin Processor, Bane of Bala Ged, Breaker of Armies, Deathless Behemoth, Eldrazi Devastator. Them with Ulamog's Crusher, Artisan of Kozilek, Pathrazer of Ulamog... My inner Timmy is rejoicing.

No one's mentioned Vampiric Rites yet? This is one of the best sac engines they've printed in while.

The vast majority of cards I'm interested in are rares and mythics. I doubt I'll ever even play most of the set outside of a limited environment.
Hedron Archive obviously has a place in Daretti. Scour from Existence is good too, because fuck Song of the Dryads and Leyline of the Void. Honestly I might put it in Lazav, too. Sometimes an enchantment resolves that I'd rather not have around.
Vile Aggregate isn't likely to work in my current, casual Daretti list but I'll probably experiment with it anyway, because it's funny. Ulamog's Reclaimer might be interesting in Lazav. I could Dimir Doppelganger something twice during a game, and get back a useful spell. That's nice.
There's two cards that interest me for Trostani, but they are both rares.

The Void Attendant is going into any deck I have that runs green. I'm thinking it might be the same for the Cryptic Cruiser and Oracle of Dust. There are a ton of beneficial cards that exile cards from your deck, hand, or in play. The processors with activated abilities shut that down. A Void Attendant can put a Deadeye Navigator into the graveyard if the controller decides to exile him.

NM, about the Deadeye Navigator, someone explained why that doesn't work. It would still take out a creature exiled by Roon or the Angel of Serenity
September 26, 2015 2:19 a.m.
Void Attendant + Anafenza, the Foremost, Rest in Peace, or Leyline of the Void
Void Attendant's ability to put the exiled card in the graveyard gets replaced by just putting it back in the exile zone. Essentially you can pay 
to get an eldrazi scion, as many times as you want so long as an opponent has at least 1 card in exile.

Is it good enough to run in Roon of the Hidden Realm too? His ability becomes 
: kill something, and the tokens are relevant for Skullclamp and Aura Shards.

Blighted Steppe is getting auto-included in my Bant tokens deck. Same with that Angel that nets you 1 life for each creature you control when it ETB's.
