Thoughts

I always appreciate SingPanMan's attempts to try different things. Bayou and Tropical Island to two copies of Veil of Summer doesn't seem like a wild cost when combo lists with counterspells are at a high meta percentage. Sure, you need to run the play sets of Polluted Delta and Misty Rainforest, but it's an intriguing choice. My only issue is I would want to have more in the sideboard or something else to use the Green Mana for.
