Ingenious method of reprinting cards at a steady clip in a standard set without making them standard legal. Should provide a very helpful reprint method in the future both to help with much needed reprints and also to help boost the value of standard in-print sets, both of which have been issues of late.
I remember the Amonkhet Masterpieces reception on this forum was primarily that we were tired of the Masterpieces reprint method and its happening for consecutive sets drained away its impact. The Amonkhet Masterpieces having an unclear, if any, overarching theme and being to the unreadable side didn't help.
I think the Amonkhet Masterpiece frame was a bit more "out there" at the time and was harder to read, so that didn't help. Having these guaranteed one per booster box is nice too, so its not so much of a crapshoot to get one (but with 81 of there will only be about 30% more in circulation as any individual masterpiece)
I like the templating changes; trimming redundant words mean that either more relevant words can be added to complex cards and simple abilities can read more simply.

it says "then shuffle." instead of "then shuffle your library."
That is super silly.
