Because the “search” requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don’t have to find the card if you don’t want to.

The land put onto the battlefield does not count toward your one per turn limit because it was put onto the battlefield by an effect.

Context

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from WC97 — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #jk144 of *World Championship Decks 1997*, the set that shipped alongside the August 1997 World Championship Decks 1997 release.

Card type: Land, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #11,707 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
