I would say Bone Picker at common is rather crazy for any standard-powered set. Currently it's only common printing is an online-only extra-pricy premium set from what I can see (so at least in part it's assumedly a common there to raise the overall value of opened packs and also the set generally has a higher power level).
Say you draft 5+ copies of this (which you can do due to it being a common) then have one or two early removals or things you can sack, so that you could drop two or three copies of this relatively early on. That seems like close to insurmountable amount of pressure in limited and is way too consistent to pull off if this is a common.
Design wise that also seems contractionary to the original goals of the set as I understood them, which was to be somewhat similar to Worldwake - as in 'battlecruiser magic' that has somewhat slower of a pace overall. Early evasive 3/2s implode that concept wholly.
It's also notable that currently the set has very few fliers at common, so this would often be uncontested in it racing players to death which would additionally pronounce the problem play patterns.
Agreed and changed rarity.
