I have a mechanic called Iterate:
Iterate (Shuffle this card into the library as it resolves.)
Example:
Total Ferocity
Instant ★
Tap and exert target attacking creature. It gets +X/+0 and gains trample until end of turn where X is its power.
Iterate (Shuffle this card into the library as it resolves.)
Instant ★

Iterate (Shuffle this card into the library as it resolves.)
My first question though is about a specific card:
Divine Intervention v1
Sorcery ★
Shuffle all nonland permanents into the library.
Iterate (Shuffle this card into the library as it resolves.)
Sorcery ★
Shuffle all nonland permanents into the library.
Iterate (Shuffle this card into the library as it resolves.)
I want to make sure that Divine Intervention v1 isn't going to cause two shuffles according to rules. I want to maintain consistency across cards with Iterate if possible but have v2 below to avoid the potential double shuffle.
Divine Intervention v2
Sorcery ★
Shuffle this card and all nonland permanents into the library.
Sorcery ★
Shuffle this card and all nonland permanents into the library.
Does v1 shuffle in the same time as the nonland permanents or is v2 my route?
Question two
In this format you can play any card face-down as a land that can tap for one mana of any type. I'm looking for the best way to solve this issue. Can the format imply that when a card is played face-down as a land it inherently taps for one mana of any type? Or do I need to spell it out? If i need to spell it out, what would be my best route?
Example:
Cultivation
Sorcery ★
Look at the top three cards of the library. Put one into play tapped and face-down as a land with " : Add one mana of any type." Put the rest on the bottom of the library in any order.
Iterate (Shuffle this card into the library as it resolves.)

Question 3
Because the library and thus sleeves are shared, I can get a little whacky with my design space.
Example:
This for That
Instant ★
Replace target spell you don't control with a card in your hand with the same or greater converted mana cost. (Put the target spell into your hand.)
Instant ★
Replace target spell you don't control with a card in your hand with the same or greater converted mana cost. (Put the target spell into your hand.)
How's my wording for This for That?
Thanks for your time and insight
