Not the strongest of finishes for this weeks 5 cards from 20XX. I've never been sold on my own design when it comes to these bandits. I don't know... something about constantly looking at the top card of your library, and putting your snakes at risk for what may not exist. Nobody's ever complained about them to me, though. Maybe I think too hard about these things.
Evidently, as originally written, you could choose not to show the card, but draw it anyway. Whoops...
How about taking a cue from Kinship cards like Kithkin Zephyrnaut and reversing the order of the two conditions: "If it's a land card, you may reveal it. If you do, put it into your hand."
Good plan. Edited.
