New mechanic. Pretty complex, but I think its neat.
"You may exile this card" - from your hand?
So it's basically pseudo-flash with alternate cost of
less but sacrificing a land. Pseudo-flash because the opponent can see something is coming.
I'd be rather wary of a mechanic that encourages players to sacrifice their lands. If I'm stuck on 3 mana and can't cast this normally, this mechanic encourages me to screw myself down to two lands. That's not a recipe for winning the game. Cards that make players screw themselves aren't a good idea; Wizards discovered this when playtesting a version of landfall that rewarded you for skipping land drops.
