Winner is the Judge #11 : Commons
OFFICIAL 'Winner Is The Judge' RULES:
1) The judge cannot participate in the current contest or the next contest (This is to prevent the same people from winning all the time).
2) This contest will last exactly two weeks.
3) Each person may enter only one card for this challenge.
4) Only enter if you are willing to host the next challenge (in case you win).
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Right, so here's the next "Winner is the Judge" challenge and I'm hoping people find it interesting. Who knows? Let's see what happens...
I know I make far more rares and mythics than commons and uncommons, and that may or may not be true for many other cardsmiths as well.
So what I'm looking for is a common rarity card. It can be any kind of card but ideally I'm looking for something that could be constructed playable. Not necessarily top tier competitive, but more FNM, MTGO standard casual. i.e. not a card that would really only ever get seen in limited.
Here are some current examples of the sort of thing I'm talking about:
Mardu Scout
Elvish Visionary
Duress
Pacifism
Read the Bones
Titan's Strength
Anticipate
Naturalize
Nantuko Husk
Embodiment of Spring
Gurmag Angler
We'll ignore Treasure Cruise, but basically make a balanced yet powerful common.
RULES
1. Any card type (except for a basic land obvs), any CMC, etc.
2. Must be a common.
3. Maximum 5 entries per person.
CRITERIA
Presentation, so art selection, templating, spelling, etc; balance; usefulness; and flavour.
PRIZES
1st place - 10 faves
2nd place - 5 faves
3rd place - 3 faves
Have fun!

My fave common so far, with my only "good" custom mechanic :V
http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Tomigon/sets/5707
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/journey-through-ithinstrya
wisher for storms
1rr
creature-human shaman(common)
when wisher for storms enters the battlefield, deal X damage to target creature, where X is the number of cards with the supertype "wish" in your graveyard.
3/1
Note: that is not my entry, just trying to help out.
