    Yes it does. It's a silly thing to try for.

    If you double up on Approach the Second Sun with Sunbird's Invocation that should work.

    Now that it's fully spoiled, this set seems pretty weak.

    Casting cost is way too high for legacy.

    Re: Ixalan [XLN]

    If it turns out to be strong, I think the card will be more comparable to Sylvan Library than some kind of impulse/ramp thing.

    Nature's Lore doesn't draw see play (and can fetch untapped duals.)

    Search for Azcanta takes a turn to go off, so it's not an untapped island.

    It's marginal, but that makes it more interesting than the rest of the recent spoilers.

    Might also find some play in D&T type stuff.

    Mogg Maniac or Stuffy Doll are probably better.

    Re: Ixalan [XLN]

    The keyword was "Fateful Hour." There's also some odds and ends like Second Chance.

    Neat card, probably not competitive.

    River Sneak looks like it's a bad Invisible Stalker. I'm also giving...

    Re: Ixalan [XLN]

    You exile, then you search for matching cards. It untransforms in exile, so I think you get to match the 'front' side.

    Edit: I guess it doesn't work. (See below.)

    Re: Ixalan [XLN]

    I expect the blue one to be stronger in most formats. That said, the white one does cost less and puts two permenants into play.

    Re: Ixalan [XLN]

    The card does interesting stuff, but I'm not sure it does enough to be worth playing with that unreliable back half.

    That looks like a card that will see standard play.

    Preeminent Captain? I don't think the body or creature type is good enough to offset the cost difference with Squadron Hawk.

    Re: Ixalan [XLN]

    The design on Otopec Huntmaster hearkens back to Goblin Warchief a little. R&D really wants that cross-tribe enabler thing to happen. Has it ever really worked?

    Mana Leak is better than Lookout...

    It seems like a card for Modern storm decks more than anything in legacy.

    Sins of the Past and Spelltwine are modern legal. Though I doubt that Overflowing Insight is worth that kind of effort.

    It cares about morph/megamorph/manifest/Illusionary Mask, but not the transform stuff.

    Next you'll point out that the hydra is a sea serpent and should be blue rather than green.

    Pirates have been blue since Ramirez DePietro and Pirate Ship

    I like Wily Goblin for Warp World jank. I'm not sure it's competitive otherwise.
