It sucks that the paper players were being such babies and you had to move all the MED info here. Even rancored_elf was being retarded about it commenting on things that just weren't true. Other posters would have been warned for the stuff he was saying.
Upsetting. And of course, one of the main reasons given will be "we had to do this because some cards are much easier to do with a computer", and yeah, they'll slap such cards into the set. But the ACTUAL reason is because it makes much more money than real Magic. Bottom line, baby.
Oh well, it's not like they haven't sold out to the crappy mass market years ago anyway. Might as well milk it for the last bits possible.
EDIT: "Jurassic" does indeed remind me of fossils, old things that aren't around anymore, and "Park".... but "Park" means nothing in this discussion

Planned for an on-sale date of September 10th, 2007, Masters Edition is a 195 card, Magic Online only set of some of the greatest cards from Magic's past. All cards in the set have appeared in pre-Mirage Magic sets and will appear with their original artwork and old-style frames. Offered as a booster only product, Masters Edition will be on sale for a limited time and then removed from our product offering. At least one month of notice with announcements here on the website and in forums will precede removing Masters Edition from the Magic Online store. Leagues, Premier Events and draft queues will begin offering Masters Edition product in events when release events begin on September 14th.
There will be a special Masters Edition-related Oracle update shortly before the product goes on sale.
Booster packs will be sold for $3.99 each and available in the Magic Online store starting September 10th.
Check www.magicthegathering.com for card previews starting Monday, July 23rd.
Masters Edition cards will be legal in the Classic format and any format that uses Classic to define card legality.
Breakdowns for rarities include 60/60/60 C/U/R, and the 15 basic lands from Alpha/Beta, with standard 15 card boosters. Collation will be 1(basic land) 10c 3u 1r per pack, similar to 10E collation.
Premium cards will be inserted at roughly the same rate as they are in 10E as well, at a 1:56 ratio.
This is an online only non-redeemable product.
The art probably is based on Lorwyn themes as the other textless spells were themed on the upcoming/current block.
ie Mana Leak, Oxidize, Fireball, and Reciprocate Reflected CHK, and Mortify, Psionic Blast, and Condemn reflect TSP. (Terror/*** are more iconic and seem to be the exceptions)
Keep in mind that Wizards has a policy against printing mechanics in Core that are named for what they do. They only print mechanics in Core named for what they are in flavour.
For example, they didn't call it untargetability because, among other reasons, it's empty flavour-wise. Shroud evokes plenty of flavour. Ditto deathtouch and reach.

What linked Ravnica to Timespiral?
That is it's oracle text.
Stop making things up.
