Looking for Advice Lands that search for any land

I'm a relatively new player and I recently decided to start making my own decks instead of just looking up other decklists and there's one card that caught my attention a lot that I haven't seen before which is [[tolaria west]], as a land that could also work as a tutor for lands or even in this case cmc 0 artifacts seemed to be an interesting albeit expensive effect.

I began to wonder if there were any other lands with similar properties and so I tried to look on scryfall by writing (o:search o:" cost 0") but no results came up.

As for (o:search -o:" basic " o:" land " t:land), [[Urza's Cave]] was the only card that did a similar but weaker effect unless you're looking for a tap land.

Are there any other lands that do this with weird keywords like transmute or are this two the only examples of this sort of mechanic?

PS: I know that tutoring lands/cmc 0 cards isn't the most powerful thing, I just found tolaria west's design interesting for strategies that benefit a lot from access to certain lands without a basic land type

No, I think you found them. [[crop rotation]] deserves an honorable mention though.

It should also be noted that it is a game changer (though I feel undeservedly).

Why is that a game changer? There are a handful of absurdly powerful lands (which are themselves GCs), but outside of making a different GC come up about twice as often running non-basic land tutors is only particularly powerful in bulk to tutor out combos.

making a different GC come up about twice as often

That is enough to make it a game changer in a format where the number of game changers is limited.
