Fateful Hour Context

I'm very excited about the recent unveilings, but I do have a quibble. What happened to fateful hour? I can't believe you'd set out to print something on just 7 cards and then drop it mid-block, so was it that it was too powerful with Phyrexian mana around to print more cards? My future future Thraben Doomsayer/Hex Parasite deck just became stillborn, which makes me sad.

Fateful hour doesn’t make much sense flavorfully in the set where the humans turn the tide and are winning.
