We're getting Elvish Spirit Guide soon, some (beautiful) art copyrighted WotC 2018 for it is already out there. If it isn't also in this set, it's in the upcoming Elves duel deck or (fingers crossed) Dominaria.
2 bright points in a sea of chaff revealed so far today.

Playing since 1994: Currently MAGS (HomeBrew),Standard & Pauper (Pioneer and Modern are degenerate trash formats)
STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Is there any magic trigger that makes that commons which gets above 3$ cannot be printed never again as commons or what?
They put Nettle Sentinel as commmon in this set. But yeah, I agree with what you're saying, they have upshifted most such cards. Nettle Sentinel was a shocking exception to their usual practice.
Well come on uncommon and common, you guys are going to need to carry this set.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

Yeah they aren't printing free mana in standard.. ever again.
The problem with the mythic slot isn't the value included. The average mythic is currently about $20. The problem is that 3 of those are $50+ and 8 and $1-6. Your odds of hitting a box with not one of the top 3 mythics is about %50 (if my terrible math is anywhere close) and the current average of all those other ones is about $9 (which is actually pretty heavily weighted towards the next 2-3 highest priced cards).
Basically you're playing the lotto. Nothing new here. Move along.
The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
Good picks. Hopefully we see more like these in the (un)common slot.

Jaya is trolling us, not entirely unexpected. She'd prefer red instead of green for sure.
The fact that WOTC Thinks we should just be grateful they reprint a needed card in a masters set that should have been getting them all along is pretty harsh. The fact they Blatantly troll you in the flavor text of the card is just ridiculous.
Yeah I get it, Im grateful (even though you rarity shifted it) and **** you too

Been a member here for over a dozen years. Playing since '95 just got lost in the twitch shuffle.
I'm not surprised these are upped in rarity. Let's face it at common SSG price would crash hard. Uncommon will help keep some value so it will actually be a reasonable card to open and still make it much easier for people to get a playset cheaply. Same for stirrings.
Nettle Sentinel's price is going to 'crash hard'. And that's OK. Anyone who tries to build their fortune by hoarding and speculating on a common ... really deserves what they get.
Commons are cards everyone should be able to get at minimal effort and expenditure. They're not cards that decisions need to be made to ensure they're still worth several dollars apiece to preserve the investment of the brave souls who mortgaged their house on the futures market of a common.

This artwork is already in use for a mtgo version of that card. Entry on Scryfall.

If they just stack this set with niche commons and uncommons buying a pack might pay off the return in 8 to 12 years when Cursecatcher is 10$ again.
