Between all of these and Emet-Selchs looting ability, 14 cards isnt an unreasonable ask at all
However, its not impossible either
Its effect of sacrificing a Spirit for red mana is what makes it so good, making it very easy to ensure you always have spells to cast
It wont replace Spara's Headquarters any time soon, but this web-slinging land will be great in landfall or blink decks
You can also use this while the paint is wet to pull the paint further along the line, which saves you from the bumps-and-ridges problem before it happens
Flashback spells, recursive threats, and Madness cards can make those discards even more valuable, while the Elemental tokens can help close out games or keep you alive until you find the cards you need
