Okay so with its -0 ability I dont understand the wording? "Exile the top card of your library, you may play it this turn" shouldnt it be like "exile the top card of your library you may cast that card until the end of your turn"?

They both do the same thing though ultimately

Would you get to play a land if you already played a land that turn from your hand?

Yes you'd get the land but I think her ability only works on non land non artifact so that it procs on spells? Ie sorcery or instant right?

i thought it was anything with a mana cost. Also, I'm super syked about pure card draw coming to red. Even if it is temporary

Probably due to the {cloudshift} loophole

Cast refers to spells (not lands).

Play refers to all cards.

All normal timing and other restrictions apply such as playing only one land per turn.

Or in the opposite direction, how many mono red decks do you know that actually want to see land after 4/5? Barely any, this helps you filter passed lands that would normally just be annoying land drops when you want spells or another creature.
