These are all great suggestions, thanks for the help! The budget isn't great, I'd like a second [Contagion Engine] but it isn't really for now. I think I'm gonna try the Braided Net  ^Flip, Manifold Key and a The Enigma Jewel  ^Flip. Tolaria West looks like a good addition to tutor the lands indeed.

The big question is - what format is this deck trying to be and what is your budget? Obviously this will never be competitive, but if cards from any edition are allowed, you have hundreds of choices:

• Braided Net  ^Flip - This is a Tumble Magnet with multiple advantages. It can stop Planeswalkers what the original magnet could not. It stops other activated abilities. It can draw a lot of cards. Note that once again, the other side can be untapped in reaction to the activation, so you'll have the effect twice.
• Manifold Key - Strictly better than Voltaic Key
• The Enigma Jewel  ^Flip - another mana source for activated abilities. However, it legendary, so play at most one.
• Pithing Needle - stops problematic Planeswalker and can be found by a Trinket Mage
• Relic of Progenitus - stops graveyard strategies without hurting your deck. Even when the opponent doesn't have anything with graveyard, this can draw a card to replace itself. Can be found by a Trinket Mage
• Experimental Augury - reasonably cheap card selection that proliferates.
• Vesuva, Tolaria West - If you ever want more Locus Lands.
• Urza's Tower, Urza's Power Plant, Urza's Tower, Expedition Map - alternative mana base instead of Cloudpost.
• Moonsnare Prototype - One mana accelerator.
• Inventors' Fair is artifact tutor and a life gain on a land.

If you REALLY want to go all in on counters and play older cards:

- Hickory Woodlot, Saprazzan Skerry, Peat Bog, Sandstone Needle, Remote Farm are lands that produce two mana as long as you are able to proliferate each turn. Pentad Prism is an artifact that effectively produces mana when you proliferate.
