Thinking of creating a list of staple commons that are used in Modern. For example, if you have access to a box of bulk commons, would it not be nice to have a reference list as you pick through the box? Some commons are easily recognizable, while others not so much (for example, all red burn cards besides Lightning Bolt look the same to me).
If there is enough interest/feedback, I can update the OP and maintain such a list.
Do cards like Kird Ape and Oblivion Ring that were printed in other rarities count?
They sure do. My main motivation is to have a list of relevant cards to pick when going through bulk common boxes (they don't have to be expensive, just playable in relevant established decks)
