Card text
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 8. (Exile cards with total mana value 8 or greater from your graveyard.) Search your library for a basic land card. If evidence was collected, instead search your library for a creature or land card. Reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle.

Rulings
If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.
The collect evidence ability of Analyze the Pollen allows you to find a nonbasic land card.
