Over the years we have had may cards reprinted in different rarities. From Scion of the Wild to Peregrine Drake there have been a wide variety of rarity shifts going down. Typically rarity shifts go upward in power but we get luck some times. I'm curious what are some rares you would want rareshifted that seem in the realm of possibility.
For me personally I'd love to see a Cockatrice or Shivan Dragon printed as an Uncommon. But I'm interested what you guys would want.
A bunch of tribal lords, since I am modern peasent rather than full peasent I miss out on some of the great lords or yesteryear or just reprint them in standard (I am pedantic about it actually being in modern not reprinted elsewhere). I couldn't make goblin tribal work without any lords.
I wish I were less of a stickler for rarity and could Tinker for Triskelion. Really though, I just want a good target or two. Something like Pentavus or Sharding Sphinx would be nice.

I actually made a "rare expansion" for my cube of cards that I thought would help fill in some of the weak spots at the common/uncommon level without breaking the overall power level that I was looking for. I haven't updated this in a while, but here it is:
I was able to try this out once, and some of the cards were too good for the environment (Hornet Queen and Rakka Mar, specifically), but generally I wouldn't mind seeing all of these at uncommon so I could add them permanently.
For fun (and because I am super bored at work), I looked at all of the new sets included for Modern Masters 3 and found a bunch of interesting green cards that would be reasonable downshifts. Feel free to rank them, either by preference or likelihood of being reprinted:
I would be absolutely hyped for all of these, but I am most interested in the idea of Renegade Krasis as more +1/+1 counter support, similar to how Cytoplast Root-Kin was reprinted last time. I do not even know if people would play Deranged Outcast, Ghoultree, Skinshifter, or Splinterfright, but they are all (minus Skinshifter) interesting cards for specific archetypes.
Okay, so I have been giving this some thought and here is my current list (cards to be printed as physical uncommons). Many of these are repetitions of things people have already said but I would still like to have them.
Seeing that list with all of the Phyrexian cards on it just reminds me how happy I would be to see Phyrexian Scuta downshifted. Just a nice big creature for black with a drawback, even has +1/+1 counters on it.

Proclamation of Rebirth is one of my favorite cards and an interesting build-around that seems fair for peasant.
Life from the Loam creates a whole new archetype on its own.

Same though. I have tried Tinker with Accomplished Automaton, Sandstone Oracle and its honestly decent enough especially with the new beaters coming in with the next set such as: Treasure Keeper

Just play 'em, the Peasant Police aren't going to tear gas your home for playing some borderline-decent dual lands.
