I'll jump to the conclusion really quick, and then explain myself: What, in your opinion, be it humble or not, are the best 10 common cards ever printed in the history of the game?
I've recently been thinking about the game, and realized that I couldn't find one standard list by which all commons, uncommons, and rares were ranked. I figured that it might be time to at least get some opinions on what you thought, as a MtGer, were the best commons ever printed.
I'm keeping the number small, but feel free to go past ten if you'd like.

It mostly consists of a napalm filled trench around my house and a stack of 1994 pornography in my basement.

As much as I'm against the OTT view that this card is going to solo tournaments, cure cancer and make Susan Boyle attractive I'm not really a fan of the opposing camp who think it slaughters puppies and sired Justin Bieber.

4. Duress
5. Hymn to Tourach
6. Sinkhole
7. Rancor
8. Mana Leak
9. Terminate

That sounds about right. Its actually nice to see that 2 of those are still in Standard, proves that good commons can still be made, and dont have to be overbearing.
Sure, stuff like Snapping Drake and Goblin Piker are for limited. But Null isn't even playable against a 5 year old whose hand consists of a 6 of Clubs, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Chimney Imp, and a very large cumquat.

I wouldn't put Rancor above Gush or duress. Sinkhole not a five-star card? 2-mana LD is bad? Yeah...ok.
Frantic Search? Free card draw is always a bonus
