Yow. Pay its CMC to get a card whose CMC you then have to pay again to cast it. Like Citanul Flute. That searched your whole library, but it did cost 5. This is free and on a land. So... yeah, probably about balanced. Desolate Lighthouse and Nivix, Aerie of the Firemind show that lands that can "draw cards" need to be very conservatively costed.
This works best in a deck with a bunch of cheap artifacts, interestingly. It loves artifact lands, Ornithopters, and utility cogs like Pyrite Spellbomb and Executioner's Capsule. But later game it can dig for your bigger spells too. Nice deckbuilding direction.
