What's the best common creature ever printed?
Delver of Secrets Flip by a long shot, unless I'm forgetting something important.

I personally consider Werebear as a quite strong common creature, well, of what I can think of right now.

There isn't one! Cards have situational utility, after all, and that's not even getting into colour balance issues. Plus, a player's preferred kind of deck will be an important factor.
One of my favourite commons is Rhystic Study . And hey, Dark Ritual is pretty great too. Maybe someone else will come along and say Gemhide Sliver . None of these are wrong choices! Well, I mean, Trade Caravan might be. But the point stands, I think.

Oh, whoops. Common Creature. Still, I don't think this question has a proper answer.

It very much does, vagueabond. I would have thrown in my vote for Vampire Lacerator because I don't play Legacy or tempo/control and often forget Delver of Secrets exists. As such, Blakkhand is right and it is Delver.

Augury Owl is one of my favorites. Play with Curiosity and draw what you want!

Just because Yavimaya Elder is an EDH staple doesn't mean it's good in other formats.

In pauper, people love to drop Ulamog's Crusher as a finisher.

Delver of Secrets Flip is way above the rest of the competition, except for Qasali Pridemage which is a close second.

Wild Nacatl . It's the only common creature banned in modern for a reason.
