"Hideaway N" means "When this permanent enters the battlefield, look at the top N cards of your library. Exile one of them face down and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. The exiled card gains 'The player who controls the permanent that exiled this card may look at this card in the exile zone.'"

Any player who has controlled a permanent with a hideaway ability since a card was exiled with it may look at that card.

Previously, permanents with hideaway entered the battlefield tapped. This ability has been removed from the definition of hideaway. Older cards have received errata to have an additional paragraph that reads "[This permanent] enters the battlefield tapped," and they now have hideaway 4.

Hideaway now causes you to put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order instead of any order.
Hideaway 4 (When this land enters, look at the top four cards of your library, exile one face down, then put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)
This land enters tapped.

, : You may play the exiled card without paying its mana cost if creatures you control have total power 10 or greater.
Mosswort Bridge is a near-free inclusion in any green deck that goes wide or tall. The downside is minimal—it enters tapped and otherwise functions as a basic Forest—while the upside is a free card, potentially a bomb.
The Hideaway dig smooths your draws (you choose the best of four), and the power-10 threshold is trivial in the decks that want it: stompy/ramp builds with big creatures, +1/+1 counter decks, elf/token swarms, and most green Voltron lists. Hitting 10 total power by midgame is the norm, so you're effectively casting your exiled card for , ignoring its mana cost—great for an Eldrazi, a Craterhoof, or a haymaker spell.
Note it exiles when it enters, so you don't get to "save" your best draw later; you commit blind-ish to the top four.
Skip it in low-creature decks, control shells, or builds that struggle to reach 10 power—there it's just a tapland with a dead ability.
