It's an odd-speed disenchant. Might not be quite powerful enough to make up for the speed.

Reminds me of the recent Revoke Existence.

What does "You may also cast this" mean? If it's in your hand and you play a land you get to cast it for free? If it's in your graveyard you get to cast it every time anyone plays a land?

Uh no, I meant you can play it from hand at either sorcery or "When a land happens" speed.

OK, wording should be something like "Whenever a land enters or leaves the battlefield, if ~ is in your hand, you may reveal ~ and cast it." The game has so far avoided triggered abilities that trigger from a hidden zone though, and there are potential rules difficulties with it.

Oh darn it. Make it an instant that has "You may only cast this whenever you could cast a sorcery or in response to a land entering or leaving play?"

made land restriciton workier

This was FUN! I mean, it's just a strictly less-good Disenchant and there's almost never any USE to being able to say "Aha! I can play this now, because you played a land!"

But it's FUN to do so. Shame it can't be 'in response to' playing a land, though.

(Actually, there is a use - keeping mana open, and using it in your opponents end phase becomes possible, unless they miss a land drop; in which case you don't care.)
