I might like it more if it searched a legendary creature. T'would be more squirely.
The specificity would make me want to make it search for something 3cmc or 4cmc or less.
Interesting that he can search for Valathon. Could prove useful in a deck that included things like Ashnod's Altar and whatnot.
I thought of him when considering the 1-drop Commander challenge.
No longer legendary. Only searches for CMC 2. Now also searches graveyard.
nit; "search your graveyard and/or library". As is you always search your library, so there's no need for the "if you searched your library this way" clause; either it should be /or, or you should always shuffle.
This seems pretty strong! In a multiples-format, you could Aspiring Squire in a Squadron Hawk like way, getting more Aspiring Squires. It never runs out of hits, also being able to put copies from your graveyard back in to your hand.
It'd definitely be a test for someone in a limited environment to survive T1 Aspiring Squire in to possibly T2 two Aspiring Squires, eternally able to return each other. Being a rare, that's less likely to happen.
Otherwise, this can serve a neat niche on finding specific combo pieces and recurring them. I like the elegance, I'm not sure what I'd remove or add to make more fair, other than just making it cost more mana.
It can't search for itself, since it isn't CMC 2.
Thank you for pointing out the errors!
Oh hey, yea! I entirely autoread it as "mana cost 2 or less", which it does not say.
