With Origins right around the corner I thought the community should start some good limited talks. With half the set out and a lot of scrutiny coming in for the rares and mythics let's give the little guys some time in the spotlight. So I want to know what you guys think the best WHITE COMMONS are for LIMITED. You can go top 5, top 3, or just the top.
I'll start. I THINK the best white common is Topan Freeblade. Obviously, this card is good. It's a two-mana 2/2 VIGILANCE, with the opportunity to become a 3/3. If that's not good I don't know what is. Oh yeah did I mention it has VIGILANCE. So, WHEN it becomes a 3/3 it's still ready to sit back and block for you.
What do you guys think?

You're as good or as bad as you think you are.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.

But yeah, so far, Topan Freeblade seems pretty great. It is a decent bear, but it can also punish a stumbling opponent really hard.
2) Topan Freeblade - Vigilance AND Renown 1 on an already efficient bear body
3) Grasp of the Hieromancer - It's an aura, but it's a really oppressive one.
