The Oracle card reference has been updated on http://gatherer.wizards.com for the release of Masters Edition on Magic Online. Like Mirage block, this release also affects the paper card texts, most notably with creature type changes.
Ouch, I didn't notice we won't get the answer to the contest until June 25. (Good&Evil listed the possibilities.) I wouldn't be surprised if we found out which card is in from another source before then. I'd personally rule out cards with non-Core Set mechanics; Reiver Demon seems likely.
I believe the 17 cards were all cards mentioned in their Tenth Edition preview, but now we have some arts, flavor texts, and rarities, along with further confirmation that card templates are the same and that, for example, flying still has reminder text. I thought Overrun at uncommon (along with trample and its reminder text) was notable.
Additionally, that editor posted a brand-new preview (and a bunch of fakes) at http://wizarduniverse.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=12310 . One of ten cards listed—I doubt it's Arcbound Ravager—is a new preview for Tenth Edition. I think the contest to guess which card is in is still open, but we can get this figured out quickly.
Strangely, not all of the keyworded-in-FS abilities have been applied throughout Gatherer.
Yes - Reach, Lifelink, Shroud
No - Poisonous, Deathtouch, Absorb
As written, poisonous doesn't apply to any existing poison creatures. The keyword ability only triggers on dealing combat damage, while existing poison creatures either trigger on any sort of damage, or on attacking and not being blocked.
Oddly enough, the reverse applies to deathtouch. The keyword ability triggers on any damage, but existing creatures with similar abilities only trigger on combat damage.
Absorb could be applied to a couple of cards: Daunting Defender could say "Clerics you control have absorb 1." Thanks to new ability rules, Urza's Armor could say "You have absorb 1."
Here's the VS with Cutthroat il-Dal and Tarmogoyf. They're spelled wrong at Wizards.
Nice catch on the typos. I've attached a similar page, but with black background and cards sorted by color, then by timeshiftiness, for those whose tastes in visual spoilers match my own.
Were there any other full card scans displayed in the podcast? Even if we already "know" them, I'd like to know what WotC chose to preview officially. If so, screenshots of these would be welcome.
Why does everyone believe this guy's ridiculous stories? They're clearly fabricated. His threads should be closed on sight with all the horse hockey he's feeding us.
I Googled that and found Sanguine Bond and Blood Tribute on http://mtgsalivanth.blogspot.com/2009/09/checking-off-maros-zendikar-checklist.html
I made a list of errata at http://www.yawgatog.com/resources/oracle-changes/10e-med/
In case you missed it, Magic rules manager Mark Gottlieb previewed and explained the major changes in http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/feature/420a
Also, Wishes only use the sideboard in timed games, rather than games in a given format. In untimed games, you can grab a card from your collection.
I don't do anything with flavor text, unfortunately.

True, but Essence Sliver's text similarly changed; it now gives all Slivers lifelink where before it only had one triggered ability on itself.

Update!
I've detailed all the Oracle changes on my web site, along with updates to my zipped plaintext Gatherer outputs and list of creature type changes.
