Wizards said they lime a new keyword or two for each set. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but they're usually tuned to the set they're released in more than any other. That's why some cards get banned in modern so quickly (see
Dig through Time and
Treasure Cruise). Pretty much everyone knew
fatal push was going to be pretty common in Modern as soon as they a saw it; it was a dirt cheap way to kill
tarmogoyf consistently, along with all kinds of other cheap threats. I wish they'd spend a bit longer looking at how things will interact amongst other sets, particularly within its standard lifetime. It's silly that things like Emrakul and
Smuggler's Copter got standard banned; WotC should have easily seen that these things would get out of hand.
Anyway, on the Masterpieces, they've said that they're going to keep doing them as another way for newer players to have a chance at good, old cards (right. I've not seen one yet, despite buying several boxes worth of cards. I'm glad they're rare, but don't try that line.) These new ones, however, are just ugly. I know the look they were going for, but it just missed badly.
