The non-explorer effect here is awful. Could it at least be Rampant Growth rather than Lay of the Land?
Seek the Horizon shows this is just really underpowered. I also think of Explosive Vegetation and Dawn's Reflection. Note that you get Cultivate for cheaper than this, which is better than the bonus version of this. I think you depowered this a bit too much!
Yeah, that seems better. A Rampant Growth that turns into an Explosive Vegetation, costed in between the two. (Reminiscent of my card Expansion in that way, although I backed off from getting the full Exploding Vegetables into a conditional Cultivate.)
...Unfortunately this does have another problem now, which is that this card changes the number of lands you have on the battlefield. And the Explorer check is written after the text which changes the number of lands, but is evaluated before it.
Which may make it confusing for some players.
I don't see why you would have an explorer ability on a land search spell anyway. If you have more lands, you're less likely to need to spend mana fetching more.
The relative number of lands seems unimportant compared to "Do I have enough lands to cast my stuff yet"?
And if I'm using 3-mana slots for landsearch, then I'm probably casting at the 8 level.
