The Urza lands are commons in Chronicles, but where does the Snow-Covered Mountain come from?

I don't recall offhand if it was an Ice Age or Coldsnap land, but it was definitely a Snow-Covered Mountain. I was more amused by the fact that I just about got a full play-set of Urza's lands out of that pack.

Edit: The snowy land was one of the Ice Age variety.

Edit2: Bought a second pack of Chronicles... 9 Urza's lands and a regular Mountain from Ice Age. By chance, would Urza's lands be the only things with Chronicles in the Set Info field?

Yep, they're the only ones.... Not even any lands have "SetInfo:CHR".

Chronicles didn't have any basic lands. It was just reprints of the less powerful cards from Antiquities, Arabian Nights, Legends, and The Dark.

I will add Chronicles to the setInfo script and update the card text files.

The better question is how did the Urza lands become the only ones to get the SetInfo?

Quick-aside.. my brother in law has an unopened box of Chronicles somewhere in his closet...

I just won a Web as a rare, which is a junk rare in Revised but reprinted as an uncommon in 9th. Why is it taking up the rare spot in the pack I just won? Could the devs (in bold)please(end bold) make all cards which are both uncommons and rares be uncommons, at least when we win 15 completely random cards?

Since Web is clearly a "junk" rare, should we put "beastly" uncommons in the Rare slot such as Force of Will or Serendib Efreet ?

We used to try to do this, but it doesn't really work. Web appeared in 4 sets as a Rare, and only 1 as Uncommon. Similarly, Pestilence used to be a Common but was most recently printed as an Uncommon. The most consistent way to handle everything is to legitimately pick the Rarity slot in each card per set, which has an equal chance of being picked as everything else in that rarity slot.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying to make Dwarven Pony an uncommon instead of a rare because it's terrible. Dwarven Pony is clearly a rare because it's always been a rare. I'm saying to make the "you won a random rare" pop-up to not give an uncommon Web. I remember hypnotic specter as an uncommon as a kid and now it's a rare. I think winning the hyppie as a rare is weird too since more people have seen the uncommon version.

Oh wait, maybe I'm understanding you wrong. Am I winning both uncommon and rare versions of Web? If Web has been a rare and an uncommon does that mean I'm more likely to get it than an unreprinted rare like Dwarven Pony? I'm just assuming I'm not winning reprints because I haven't gotten 100 copies of stone rain. I don't understand how prizes work and I'm a noob.
