Thanks, added. Was there an official list anywhere, or what do you mean by "they counted"?

And:
Alpha - Sporecrown Thallid
Beta - Pardic Wanderer (released in 1993 > 93-beta)
Limited - Keldon Raider
Unlimited - Rat Colony
Revised - Pardic Wanderer

I can't think of any office source fro the top of my head, just when Dominaria is brought up they mention Magic Origins since it got 1/10th of the spotlight for worlds and then you have Sage of Lat-Nam with Origins in the flavor text.

Wow, thanks. It does not even occur to me to look for those....that makes it even cooler!

I actually told one of my friends about this thing after the prerelease, and he began looking for set names in flavour texts and stumbled upon Pardic Wanderer and jokingly said "look, they even did beta". Meanwhile I was like "dude..." and began looking for an alpha reference and found the thallid and we had our minds blown.

Well played wizards, well played indeed.

Thran Temporal Gateway also counts for Portal, and there are more instance of "Urza's" to cover the whole block on Juggernaut and Nature's Spiral (plus Urza's Tome and Urza's Ruinous Blast).
Rescue also has "editions" on it to cover the Limited Editions.
Powerstone Shard has the "planar" for Planar Chaos and Adeliz, the Cinder Wind has "sight" (insight) for Future Sight.

Wow for Portal Second Age "second" actually shows up on Rescue, Soul Salvage and Wizard's Retort ("second mage" even), and "age" is on Board the Weatherlight and Cabal Paladin.
Plus there is a second "portal" on Hinterland Harbor.

Priceless

Updating the post, thanks!

Since it is Limited Edition (singular), I think this rather refers to Fourth Edition through Tenth Edition, or all Core Set editions.

What I want to see is a list of all the cards that reference other cards in some way.

Most of these flowed naturally, 'fallen empires' on Divest was the one that stuck out, I suppose that speaks to how well WotC wrote them in.

I do not think the fallen empires stuck out in any way...
