1: Ben is completely right that Flare is the best non rare by a comical margin and better than most rares so it “should” go 2nd at the latest.

It's not *just* that every deck plays Lurrus, it's that it obviously shows up every single game, and the part I find least fun is how much it snowballs games in a format that already has a lot of that. Once again, Black Lotus didn't need the help.
