Spinning off of the last card, I wanted something that helped fill a graveyard with plant fodder. NTC #080 is kind of like a Lay of the Land with fewer options, but, oh look at that. It dumps cards into the graveyard. (At other times, it will be less useful than just having another land in the deck. For this card to see print, it's going to need a convergence of 'graveyard matters' and 'sorceries matter' or 'casting multiple spells matters'. Though, I suppose if you're building the Urzatron or something like it, less lands and more cards that get lands can be a good thing.)
Did a little searching to make sure this card doesn't exist yet, and I'm pretty sure it does not. Shares space with Abundant Harvest, but that card is more generally useful with fewer tricks. It's also similar to the infamous broken ability on the banned card Hermit Druid way back in Stronghold. But Hermit Druid asks for basic lands only. You could dump half a deck before you hit one of your two basic lands.
Oh, but what is this card's name?
Let's go with Till.
How often do I get to try a four letter name?
Yeah, it's an interesting place for the card. Seems simple and obvious. But then as you say, when play this over another land? But also, I wonder if they avoid printing this for fear of some weird interaction, either a deck Which somehow plays few lands and uses this to search up the broken lands. Or a deck such pares its lands to use this to fill the graveyard a lot. I can't see either being with it atm but maybe it would risk interactions with future cards?
This does indeed seem potentially broken. The combo with something like Mana Severance is potent, but eternal formats can do that kind of thing already, and I doubt they're reprinting something like Mana Severance any time soon. Similarly there might be some way to use it with artifact mana and Elvish Spirit Guides. But it does at least have a sensible usage too.
Oh, a name, right. How about Homeseek?

Jack wins with Till. Oh, it's been a while since I only had to change the name of the card. ;)
See everybody in (((NTC #081)))!
