Why was Vedalken Shackles upgraded to a mythic rare? I do not see how it is worthy of that rarity, especially since take possession was downgraded to an uncommon, which also does not make sense to me (I believe that both cards were better, and perfectly fine, as rares).

Shackles was bumped to mythic because it's super, super strong in limited, and worth a fair amount of money.
Take Possession was downgraded to uncommon because it's very similar to Volition Reins and Confiscate, which are both uncommon.

This is a list of cards that have indeterminate legality in peasant formats. Magiccards.info displays them one way, while Gatherer displays them another:
Magiccards.info uncharacteristically lists these as rares, while Gatherer lists them as uncommon. The Dark does have U1 cards, so I'm unsure why they're listed as rares.
Magiccards.info lists these as uncommon, while Gatherer lists them as rare. Arabian Nights had no U1 cards, so these are the rarest from that set. The discrepancies occur because these are just as common as U2 cards from other early sets.
3. Multiple printings:
'uncommon' sheet AND 'common' sheet printings in the same set make these cards MORE common (percentage-wise) than commons such as Remove Soul

I'm sure I'm still missing some of them, so let me know. MM seems like a huge boon for some of these formats, I'm liking it.

I don't think there's been any answer as to whether any of the stack of cards spoiled today had been shifted to common.
