I just feel like Urzatron is more for Constructed than Limited. Do I want it reprinted? Hay yes. I just don't know if MM15 limited is the right format. Wouldn't Commander make sense as a format for rampy lands, or is Urzatron's relative inconsistency without adequate tutoring considered too big a liability? Planechase also comes to mind.
It fits better in a Modern only product. Planechase could work, but MM15 is the Summer multiplayer set, and I don't see them doing Planechase too often. Plus with Planechase, they aren't going to put four copies of each of the three lands in a deck. They'll do maybe two of each at most. With Commander, the same thing. You'll only get one of each in a deck. Sure you could buy others as singles, but as a wishing thing here, I'd wish for them to be available enough, not have a high singles price for being the first copies since Antiquities to have black borders. If printed at common in a set like this, the supply is limited, but they are available and you could pull a playset of each out of a box.
Granted there could be hate drafting or multiple people fighting over the lands, but it's a possibility. Additionally, with 20 more cards than MMA, I wouldn't necessarily count them out.
Both sides make sense and have good points, and it probably would work better to print them in a Modern Event Deck, but it could still work in a MM15 draft. Plus, if they're putting in Metalcraft, Etched Champion, and other Affinity sorts of cards in the set, there will be artifact destruction and land destruction to even things out.

A Modern Event deck would be a fantastic place for them. I could see it now: GWU Tron Ramp with cards like Karn Liberated, Gifts Ungiven, Realms Uncharted, and Expedition Map. That said, I do see that Urzatron's Modern relevance does make a strong argument for its inclusion in MM15.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I'd like to see them print a higher number of cards from 8th/9th Edition and Time Spiral "Timeshifted" instead of seeing some of the same cards over and over again in every supplemental product. MM1 had a good start with things like Blood Moon, Dragonstorm, Thallid and City of Brass, but there are a lot of decent/interesting cards left that I would like to see get the same treatment (obviously it wouldn't make sense to do them all at once, and a good number of these are probably more at home in a different product, but you get the idea):
I would very much like to see the talismans from Mirrodin (i.e., talisman of impulse, talisman of dominance, etc.) reprinted, but with new (and better) artwork and flavor text. As a side note, why were they only uncommons, while the painlands after which they were modeled were rares?

I'm strongly considering building Martyr of Sands/Proclamation Of Rebirth deck, but I sort of want to hold out hoping that Serra Ascendant and Ranger of Eos will get reprinted in Modern Masters 2015. Both of these cards were only printed one time, and I feel that because they don't see tier 1 competitive play, if they were to be reprinted the prices would dramatically drop.
Do you feel these cards will likely be reprinted in the Modern Masters 2015 set or should I not hold my breathe and just bite the bullet now?
Is it possible that either glorious anthem or story circle shall be in this set? Neither of them has been reprinted in many years, so I believe that they are excellent candidates for reprints.

I'd hope they'd downgrade Lotus Cobra from mythic to a regular rare. Maybe Iona, Shield of Emeria, Vengevine, All Is Dust, Wurmcoil Engine, Blightsteel Colossus, Phyrexian Obliterator, or Batterskull might be things to consider, although some of those could maybe be downgraded to rares as well.
