Then you’re paying 4 to counter 3.

That’s not good when a lot of the most dangerous haymakers cost 3.

Most of the haymakers in Modern cost 0, 1, or 2 Mana. There are exceptions of course but cards like Lili and Blood Moon don't really see so much play anymore.

I will be very disappointed if there isn't a large number of uncommons with multiple keywords that haven't been in a set together before. Like dash + battle cry for example

Then these boosters shouldn't be more than twice as expensive as normal.

Because you lost your first two rounds and thus don't need to play anymore.

Do you think snow-covered basics are going to hold their value with this adding a lot more to the market?

The supply is at least going up, Ice Age was in 1994 and my brother bought the only box of Coldsnap that wizards sold.

Bring your own! They're basics printed in the set, run as many as you want/got.

They look alright, but not as good as I would hope? Each card looks pretty good, but just not quite there.

Does full art snow basics mean the presumable rare lands are likely to be kinda trash? Like, enemy color pairs of the Odyssey dual cycle?

If they're printing new cards into modern for the first time, wouldn't they need a pretty sizeable print run to avoid the playable uncommon/rares from going through the roof in singles pricing?

No, it means snow duals, use your brain.
