OK, I'll bite: Why is this functional reprint of a Water Elemental an uncommon instead of a common?
Well, Water Elemental was uncommon? I mean, that's not a great reason...
Blue doesn't get creatures this powerful at common is the real reason.
It would be somewhat of a stretch I guess but no so much really if you ask me. Blue does occasionally gets 5/5s and 6/6s at common, but they tend to have CMCs of 6+. So if you mean 'powerful' as in having that much power, then I would say that's false. I do however think you also mean it in the mana cost to p/t stats ratio though.
Striped Riverwinder, Gearseeker Serpent, River Serpent, Silburlind Snapper, and Leyline Phantom for example.
