MTG Salvation

So, I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere, but I though this would be a good place to discuss downshifted cards and their usefulness in Peasant Cubes. First, is there a definitive list of which cards have been rarity downshifted in the various Masters' editions? Second, is there an easy way to see which cards have NEVER been printed online as a common or uncommon? I ask this, because I really think an "Online Only" Peasant Cube would be really interesting to build/play.

You lose (I think) just Sol Ring, Sinkhole, City of Brass, Library of Alexandria, Land Tax, Sylvan Library, and Force of Will from most cubes, but I could be missing stuff too.

But since we also have possible downshifts coming from Tempest Remastered, I thought maybe we could focus that discussion here.

So, I do promise I'll get to this later, but right now I'm just looking for cards printed at common/uncommon in Alliances or before, that have not been printed as common/uncommon on MODO. And I'll update the other things when I can.








Funny enough, uncommon Sol Rings DO exist on MODO thanks to all of the Commander Decks.

EDIT: Updated "Not on MODO Cards" to include Portal cards. Added links for all Master's Editions and Vintage Masters.

I can link this in the "resources" tab on the mother thread
EDIT: Oh wait, I thought this was stuff that is online only at uncommon.

Once I get the time, I do plan on linking into cards that got downgraded in each of the online sets. I just started with what I, honestly, am most interested in, which is this random other category of cards going the other way.

Mostly, because I imagine what an 'online only' Peasant cube would look like.

Updated Post #2 to include all of the MODO-only sets and relevant downshifts. Will also update if downshifts come from Tempest Remastered.

Some other notes:
I *think* all of the Duel Decks get released online. If they don't, you can also disqualify Demonic Tutor and Regrowth from being available online at common/uncommon.

Feel free to add other relevant cards I may have missed. I may have been generous with some of them, but a card like Forbidden Lore does honestly seem decent to me.

Otherwise, I hope this will be a good page to discuss if adding downshifts is good AND which cards are even good enough to add.

Riding the Dilu Horse's effect lasts indefinitely? Holy *****. I must have it.

Yeah, it was misprinted in P3K, so now it's a sorcery that grants a permanent effect. A lot of Portal cards have super weird wording, and that's when they were printed correctly!

Bumping my own thread since a lot of people in the Tempest downshift thread were mentioning going back to add online-only uncommons, and this a great resource for that.

Don't forget about Wall of Kelp! Or Forked Lightning! Or Riding the Dilu Horse!

Thanks for doing this rancoredmalone! Never realized Nether Shadow was downshifted, he's one of my favorite cards ever (and still probably not good enough for the cube).

I'm weird. I won't run Prophetic Bolt cuz it's got a gold symbol on the physical card. Nice work around for Soltari Champion though, as it's a black symbol.
