Why is this card good?
Windbrisk Heights is a free spell stapled to a land — the dream scenario in any aggressive white deck.
The catch is the attack trigger: you need to swing with three or more creatures, which means it's only live in go-wide strategies. That's exactly where you want it. Token decks and white aggro/blink commanders (think Adeline, Brimaz, Krenko-style swarms but white) can reliably trigger it turn after turn, and hitting a bomb like a board wipe, a big creature, or another free spell mid-combat is huge value.
The downside: Hideaway exiles blind off your top four, so you don't choose the card — you're gambling on quality. And it enters tapped, which slows mana-hungry decks. In any deck that can't consistently attack with three creatures (control, midrange, ramp, most non-token builds), it's just a tapland with a dead ability.
Play it in dedicated tokens/aggro. Skip it everywhere else — a basic Plains is better if you can't pay the activation cost.

"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.'"
- 2022-04-29
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.

At the time the ability resolves, you'll get to play the card if you declared three different creatures as attackers at any point in the turn. A creature declared as an attacker in two different attack phases counts only once. A creature that entered attacking (such as a token created by Militia's Pride) doesn't count because you never attacked with it.
