The Red Adversary is pretty good, if you cast it for 5 you get a 3/3 Haster which should be around 3 mana in value plus a free 3 mana spell which is a great deal for 5, so its value depends on how good are the 3 MV spells in the format.
For now, it's worth noting that casting Tundra Fumarole gives you 3 colorless which is perfect for kicking the Adversary once and casting the Fumarole again the same turn. Lessons are also very good in the upcoming Standard and a lot of good ones cost 3, like Necrotic Fumes and Pest Summoning. And hey, at its worst, it's a 2/2 Haster for 2.
All the work from the land for a 3/7 ?? Seems random & super bad compared to Ormendahl
Ormendahl was much slower to setup, the ability to make clerics and transform it costed much more mana (and more creatures) and could be easily set back by removal. In the right deck, sacrificing creature is actually a benefit, so the work to transform the hostel can actually be a good thing. And then the sacrificed creatures help the Inn drain life.
Yeah, the way I see it, Westvale Abbey was a huge payoff for go-wide strategies, the Hostel is a tool and enabler for Aristocrats. They both work in different decks and both have different applications in their decks, with their only similarities being that they are both lands that transform.
