Default [ALA] O-Ring, Infest, Cancel, Naturalize, tidbits (confirmed)

I was walking down the street and I saw 4 cards laying on the ground that reminded me of other cards by their titles, but they had the new symbols from Alara weird.....

Oblivion Ring
Goblin Mountaineer
Naturalize
Cancel

They all check out, but, I am skeptical at best.

Kind of like how Farhaven Elf was almost an exact replica of Wood Elves but tailor made for Shadowmoor?

It wasn't really an exact replica - Wood Elves is actually a lot better in formats where shock/dual lands are available.

Sounds like someone was bouncing around in the Orb and thought they were funny. Honestly, when was the last time they reprinted something in the block right after not including a core set? 11th Edition I could see O-Ring... but just that alone screams fake...

Naturalize is "confirmed" and o-ring is all but confirmed. Cancel has been speculated. Only 1 new idea. And you missed infest. I don't think I've seen mountaineer mooted before - that lends creedance

@pandafarmer ignoring Futuresight shifted, I assume...

Not to mention the whole CIPT vs untapped thing. Anyways, I see no reason why Wizards should reprint Naturalize & Cancel, considering they are base set staples. I'm calling fake.

Having some solid spot removal in Limited, called Naturalize is solid.

Has there ever been a card that has been in two sets in the same standard (and neither is a base set)?

That is what makes me skeptical about an O-Ring reprint.

From orb:
Oblivion - 3
Ring - 3
Cancel - 1
Mountaineer - 1
Naturalize - 1

It's interesting...
