I'm trying to find a list of the reprinted common and uncommon cards that appear in packs of Mystery Booster Commander with the The List symbol, i.e. NOT the cards that appear here: scryfall.com/sets/mbc?as=...
Does that list exist anywhere?

Just about everyone has something they'd like to see Judge Foundry do differently. This is a great time to push for the changes you want.

With both the errata to Tolabow and the slight change to mana abilities, I saw some newer judges jumping at the chance to complain about Wizards' decisions. Of course people are entitled to their opinions, but I think the knee-jerk reflex to criticize any change Wizards makes comes from two sources:

So here's the thing about Artisan Commander—when the format was young, there was a lot of unexplored deckbuilding space. I naturally thought that as the format matured, the viable decks would get mapped out and it would get harder to build an original deck. That hasn't really happened.

Hey... WOTC? Hasbro? It's really fucked up that you made the trans members of the Arena team use their deadnames in order to vote in the union election. It seems vindictive, and cruel.

Not only this, but I hope that the next program also recognizes judges who de-certified before and during the Judge Academy years.
We've lost so many experienced judges since 2019. I still struggle to grasp the scale of that lost institutional knowledge.

In the 'If wishes were horses...' category of my life, today I hope that whatever judge program comes next is willing to recognize anyone, anywhere, that decerted post-Judge Academy.
I think there are a lot of people that might want to go back under the tent of a global organization.
