Oh, ha. I completely missed the part where you have to discard a land... I presumed it was any card. Well, that's a double non-combo with Reckless Wurm then, I guess. ;)
To be honest, it's really, really hard to balance fast mana. You think the restrictions are fine, but then some 'best deck' comes along and just gets a midge faster, and suddenly 70% of the environment is running that deck. I gotta admit that burning a land is a good way to make up for the immediate speed. Here's hoping this spell doesn't let you win by turn two on the play 50% of the time when you do it, though.
The really frustrating thing is that, except for those 'best decks', fast mana is usually bad. Lotus Petal for a round one Black Knight simply isn't a great play. I think you're on the right track for a fun card for a personal set. I'm guessing real world playtesting would tell us that this card is about as powerful as Chrome Mox, which is pretty damn potent.
I was thinking of maybe going "discard a creature or planeswalker" but I wasn't sure if that'd be too pushed.
I can't help but groan at how much this isn't a combo with Reckless Wurm. ;)
Kind of a black counterpart to Winds of Pandemonium. Bit of a Yawgmoth feel, but diff.
I know, this gets into stasis-like territory, though more limited.
