Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.)
Retrace (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying its other costs.)

I just really wish this cost X3R. It'd be neat to have a card with X in the cost that doesn't use X for anything, but it would effect what you could cascade into so it wouldn't be a total waste.
No, effects that copy spells don't count as actually casting the copied spell, the copy is simply placed on the stack. Since Cascade triggers on cast, copying this card does absolutely nothing.
Maybe we'll get a Lay of the Land functional reprint that just says "Basic landcycling G"
