Whispers of the Muse (T1, Ext, S, Block) A favorite in "Turbo Xerox" (a blue deck which used minimal land but a ton of cantrips to thin out the deck), Counter-Phoenix (Shard Phoenix + Forbid) and Tradewind-Awakening (put Awakening on the stack, tap all your lands for mana, untap all your lands), Whispers has what might seem like a hefty price to pay for one card but you get to do it turn after turn after turn
Grave Titan, and Cruel Ultimatum were plenty of endgame, the ability to Mystical Teachings up a Punishing Fire was an absolutely crucial addition for being able to combat Faeries and grind out games that went long against even midrange decks, such as Doran
Even when you think the deck is gone, another wave of support comes right back and positions the deck as one of the best
Lands: Life from the Loam, Loam targets (good to exile lands when possible in case of opossing Elvish Reclaimers / Crucible of Worlds / Endurance getting their lands back into the deck / Echoing Deeps) Storm: Past in Flames, & Echo of Eons (if possible)
Pests are typically harvested before they outgrow their enclosures
