Gift of Estates

Frequency of Green Land-Fetching

It fells odd to me that there are so few effects in green that put lands directly from the deck into your hand. There are lots of things in white that let you search for plains (land tax, gift of estates etc) but verry few green ones. Is searching lands to hand not in pie for green, or is there another reason why we don't see these effects.

We do them fairly often, so much so that R&D has a name for green cards where land fetching goes to hand: Lay of the Land cards.

White's Land Search Ability

What about the aspect of Land Tax where white can generate card advantage from land search if it has fewer lands that an opponent, like on Tithe, Gift of Estates, and Weathered Wayfarer? You don't do it that much these days (it was never that common). Is this still something white can do?

In theory, if the land it fetches are plains and they go to the battlefield.
