MTG Salvation

for those who dont care about printed rarities

https://scryfall.com/search?q=game:arena r:common -game:paper is:unique&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

The problem about them is, that there exist no physical copies of the cards. Apart from them the fact that none of them ar good.

ha ok, i didnt check. i just came across the link.

There are some cards that only appear at common digitally that are good though. Not 100% sure how to make a list though since there are so many reprint sets these days and the syntax on scryfall doesn't really line up perfectly to do that search

yeah the modostuff

https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=legal:pauper (set:tpr OR set:vma OR set:me4 OR set:me3 OR set:me2 OR set:me1) This is a list of all pauper legal cards in mtgo-only sets. (I might have missed one, but I think it's all of them) I don't think there is an option to filter for rarity shifts, but at least you can filter pauper legal instead of common.

"If a common version of a particular card was ever released in Magic, any version of that card is legal in this format." is the official definition of pauper on the WOTC website. I like the fact that they merged paper and classic pauper and I don't really see how there is any more discussion about that topic. If you add "legal:pauper" to the mtga only commons, they don't show, because mtga arena starter cards aren't a Set. The need a phyisical printing as well.
"In this Magic format, all cards must have been printed at common rarity in a Magic set or product." I find it interesting that they still have this official definition, but I think that they simply count "released on mtgo" as "printed" since a physical counterpart exists.

i dont care how wotc defines pauper constructed. we are not the same format. i neither consider modo commons - commons, if they havent been printed at common, nor do i care about the banlist.

you can add "new: rarity" to that search to cut out all the cards that were previously common

EDIT: I actually got it down to two searches, one of which is guaranteed to be online only commons and one of which needs to be sifted through which consists of 60 cards

Must be common only on line:
https://scryfall.com/search?q=(in:uncommon or in:rare or in:mythic) -game:paper new:rarity -r>common prints=2&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

Might be common only on line:
https://scryfall.com/search?q=(in:uncommon or in:rare or in:mythic) -game:paper new:rarity -r>common prints>2&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

And from that second list here are the 10 cards that were subsequently reprinted as commons in paper:

• Elephant Guide
  
• Evil Presence
  
• Gilded Light
  
• Patchwork Gnomes
  
• Phantom Monster
  
• Primal Clay
  
• Roots
  
• Royal Trooper
  
• Strategic Planning
  

EDIT: error corrected

Whispers of the Muse is not common on paper, dunno bout the others

you're right, odd that it came up when I did my filtering. I fill have to look through the list manually I guess

Nice find, thanks. This will make it a lot easier to filter the rarity shifts in master sets in the future.
