Really? Okay, because I'm a nice guy, I'll answer your question... Adding mana to your mana pool is not a "fetch a card" effect. It just isn't. Your mana pool is an imaginary bowl that holds, and mana added to your mana pool is used to cast spells as a cost. If you're adding a card to your hand, it will SPECIFICALLY SAY to "search your library", and in the case of LANDS, it'll state to get a land. A land is never referred to as mana. Mana is never a card. And for the record, basic lands have implied rules texts that say "Add (insert color here) to your mana pool."
