Best Commons in Standard
Standard forum

What do you think are the best few common cards in standard? Don't everyone say Gray Merchant of Asphodel .
Ethereal Armor for sure!! in a heavy creature/enchantment deck played along with thins like Unflinching Courage , Madcap Skills , or even Eidolon of Countless Battles it can beat a huge beatdown to the face
example: Fabled Hero on board. next turn play Madcap Skills and Ethereal Armor you now have a 9/6 double striker that if not blocked you win pretty much.
or even Brimaz, King of Oreskos on board. next turn play Unflinching Courage then Ethereal Armor you now have a 7/8 vigilance, first strike, trample, lifelinker that spawns tokens

I'm rather fond of Spire Tracer . Using it in a bloodrush deck against someone who doesn't have man flying creatures is mean lol

I think Last Breath got to see more play than I ever thought it would. Shock is good at what it does.

Gods Willing and Celestial Flare are used, but are underrated I think. I may not main board them myself, but they've done serious work in my deck since I've added them and I can attribute my recent GP Trial win to these commons, along with the rest of my deck of course.

There's a severe lack of Gray Merchant of Asphodel in this thread.

*technically Springleaf Drum is an uncommon in Standard, but was a common in Lorwyn and is legal in Pauper...

Yeah, since I play it in Pauper I forgot it was uncommon in Standard now. They upped the rarity, just like Doom Blade .

Frostburn Weird is super cost effective imo and Voyage's End isn't to bad either

It does NOT care what creature is out there, it just goes away

Voyaging Satyr . It can untap Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and create a large amount of mana.
