It could be. I wonder why they didn't make more of it.
Ah. It's because the second part of haunt is not optional.
The haunt mechanic is actually:
"When ~ goes to the graveyard, exile it haunting target. If gains, when ~ dies, {whatever}"
So yeah. Haunt is basically useless. This is a much better version. (It still has difficulties mind you - it's fiddly, it leaves your cards under your opponents cards, you have to let something of yours die)
Haunt is one of the most underused mechanic IMO. And with some tweaks it could be a major mechanic in a set.
Trying some loose reminder text. Actual rulings would be something like Leonin Arbiter.
Huh. Yeah, I like it.
One of older
designs had a similar spin where instead of dying the card was returned to hand and then a random discard was caused. Thread of "Red cards: 5 to 1".
I like the use of the concept here. Reminds me somewhat of dash and of Archwing Dragon and its Viashino precedents.

Top down "find the lady".
I could see a variant in white, more than in green, myself.
Mister M at MTG Salvation suggested this same design, but with the name 'Patience' and the mana cost

That tickles my brain.
Huh. Like it.
~ -> this spell
A flavor fail when cast on yourself and you have no creatures to sac but you still get to draw the card. Other than that, cool I guess.
Too variable? This drawback is nigh-meaningless in a control deck. But Wizards did print Grove of the Burnwillows.
I find it interesting that the Grove was printed in a color combination that isn't known for control (More of a mid-range combination. Good spot for it.) But, theorheticaly it was supposed to come from a future five card cycle. But would they really print five lands like this? I don't really know.
Too good? Too similar to Underground Sea? Just an idea I had.
i like this! it's the opposite of the ones that just die when targeted :P
it is cool! me like id do something like this (note im trash)
~ ETBs tapped 
: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool
: Add two mana of any one color to your mana pool, activate this ability only if your devotion to that color is two or more
Mmm, nice indeed. Gets you mana you probably already have. Though phi-mana and half-mana can bypass even that restriction.
Seems like a perfectly sensible bit of space to explore. Though I'm not sure when I'd actually want to run it.
Does have the downside that it cannot do anything at all if you have, say, only one-drops from each colour in play; but that seems like a very rare occurrence.
Neat
This is an interesting halfway house between Island and Flood Plain. Island gives you
the turn you play it, but can't fetch anything; this gives you 
the turn you play it, and fetches any part-U dual; Flood Plain gives you nothing the turn you play it, and fetches any part-U or part-W dual. So I think this is spot on.
Also reminds me of Crumbling Vestige, and the various inversions of it that pre-date it on Multiverse: Butcher District, Mirror Spire, Rickety Theater, District Slums and probably others.
