At that point it’s just a 4/4 for 4 mana, which is on rate these days, but you spent two cards on it. If your opponent isn’t treating this as a 4/4 when you have 3 mana up and a card in hand, then they’re probably misplaying.
That’s the catch though. You’re opponent has to be prepared for your vanilla 1/1 nothing to become a lethal threat to their creatures, or beat in their face.
This card will suck removal towards it because of potential, instead of anything it’s actually doing.

Even without discard value. Just the threat of throwing a surplus land to turn it into a 4/4 at instant speed lategame can strongly influence a game.
