why would I pick a shock over a land better than a shock

They had this draft format in the commander set and the sentiment from I think Seth was negative. It's much quicker, and a lot more committal. I also think 4p drafts are prone to deck quality problems this doesn't really solve.

Eerie Gravestone Scout the City Kind of neat, theming aside. The names are very reprintable at least, although it's not all that obvious why scouting a city would kill a flier.

what do you mean I start at 0% coolness

Anticausal Vestige All-Fates Stalker Starfield Shepherd Emissary Escort Uthros Psionicist Some of these probably. Not a big fan of the direction a lot of the warp cards have, would much prefer it they were just another batch of evokes instead of discounted one-turn build-arounds.

I'm feeling pretty vindicated. Kind of annoying that I've now twice been dismayed about a card I want to cube looking overtuned, and it goes on to get banned in standard. We could've both been happy wotc, and instead we're both sad. I'll still keep playing up the beanstalk though, just because...

Unless you're planning to Stifle the trigger I don't really think you need to especially care in this circumstance.

It's an intervening if, so it would not be put on the stack. But it's also because several of the effects work at sorcery speed.

Surely adding only three lands to a ten-card cycle has to be some sort of crime.
