So far I have spent a lot of time researching Magic the Gathering Arena and I have noticed that there is no real list of the best Common and Uncommon cards. so I have set out to make one. It is worth noting that “the best cards” may not be best for you. Its depends on your likes, dislikes, and play styles, After all there's no right way to play Magic aside from following the rules.

This list is written with that in mind. As such its not in any particular order, It is a legacy list, and the cards chosen are selected based on a few variables Mana Cost, Ability, Power/Toughness, and Ease of access are all factored in. With that said let's get into the meat and potatoes of the list, shall we?
