You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.

11/8/2024·wotc

If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.

11/8/2024·wotc

If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
