While its Modern hype has dropped off since Glimpse of Tomorrow decks were in vogue, It sees play as a staple in a lot of cEDH decks, where making a Lotus Petal twice for a fetchland is a big tempo play

If you don't cast the card, it remains exiled with no time counters on it, and it's no longer suspended

And of course you can cast it at the last possible moment, intimidating your opponents and threatening a counterspell all the while

No need to bring any old cliches back from the dead

For true duals, Tundra and Volcanic Island give you smooth untapped mana early, while Hallowed Fountain and Steam Vents are the backup shock lands when you need extra flexibility
