I don't know where this came from but it seems like a combination between Mishra's Workshop, Gaea's Cradle, and the Scent/Seer cards from destiny.

Land - Nexus

T: Reveal any number of creature cards from your hand and add X mana of any one color to your mana pool where X is equal to the number of revealed cards. This mana may only be used to cast creature spells.

I have two objections:

1. Is it necessary to give this card the subtype "Nexus?" Understood, cards like Cloudpost have the subtype "Locus," but that plays a real function in the operation of the card. Giving this card a subtype just seems gratuitous to me.

2. Granted, this card can only be used to play creature spells, which is somewhat limiting, but imagine a Stompy variant getting a handful of one-drop creatures and this. It would be able to play its entire hand on the first turn. That sort of possibility seems much to strong to me, since even somewhat slower aggro decks like Sui Black could use this to get a first turn Phyrexian Negator without additional acceleration.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

I thought it might be a little strong but I dont have any ideas to make is less so without totally killing the card.

Nexus card type was just for flavor

maybe you could try it with the mana you gain is the number of revealed cards divided by 2 rounded down?

What if you just dropped the idea instead of making it either broken or trash?
