Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth for some forestwalk shenanigans

I'll be honest, I did not expect the Praetor secret lair to be so cheap. $30 for all 5 Praetors, or $40 for foil ones? Wow. In the first place, the praetors all together easily surpass $100 in value. Will this impact the values of other printings of these cards? I wonder if it will because Secret Lair printings are low print run in the first place, so it's not like there will be a large increase in supply.

On another note, though, will Secret Lair be wizards way to reprint expensive cards? Perhaps one at a time to make individual secret lairs sell well, or maybe in big groups?

One of the better ways to fix a land base is to lean into green more. Cards like Harrow , Sakura-Tribe Elder , Cultivate , Kodama's Reach , Fertile Ground , Roiling Regrowth , and Khalni Heart Expedition make playing your other colors easier. There’s also cheap rainbow lands like Unclaimed Territory (since most if not all of your creatures have the new creature type Phyrexian). I love the thriving lands from Jumpstart like Thriving Isle , Thriving Heath , Thriving Moor , and Thriving Grove for 4C decks.

Copying extra counterspells is actually extremely powerfl. It's the main reason Flusterstorm is so strong. With extra counterspells, your opponent has to use twice as many resources to stop you. You don't have to change the targets if you don't want.

I personally think Swarm Intelligence is the most consistent. I would run it if you have enough ramp to get there. If you're running a deck that likes to cast rituals and lots of draw cards in a turn, Thousand-Year Storm is the best choice. If you lack ramp and don't storm, Double Vision is your best bet. In any case, Veyran, Voice of Duality is great since it double triggers all of them as well as double triggers your commander's prowess.
