As the reminder text reads:
To seek a card, put one at random from your library into your hand.
If i somehow manage to exile a permanent card with signature spells i still won't be able to cast a copy every upkeep right? I assume this is one of those "linked" abilities?
Correct. "Exiled with" is pretty strong evidence of a linked ability. #wotc_staff

I designed this card in my favorite weekly meeting, the Card Design Workshop. This is a sort of "club" that any WotC employee who is interested in MTG card design may attend to flex their creative muscles.
Each week we get a prompt for some design hole that needs new ideas. On August 13, 2021, the workshop got this prompt:
Card details: A blue rare enchantment, instant, or sorcery. Its name is “Signature Spells.” We’re looking for a top-down design of a Wizard ability in D&D. From the D&D manual: “You gain mastery over two powerful Spells and can cast them with little effort. Choose two 3rd-level Wizard Spells as your signature Spells.”
(Plus that the card is intended to be a digital design)
This was my original proposal, which ...
By the way I'm on vacation this week in Iceland so my responses may not be punctual.
the set code is YCLB not HBG

It is how Scryfall was handling Alchemy sets. "A" was already taken by Art Series cards.
I think Wizards calls it HBG.
And that stands for (Alchemy) Horizons Baldur's Gate. #wotc_staff
Did it really need to gain "can't block" in this perpetual way with that much text? Why can't each one just have "~ can't block" written right on the card? And why can't these block anyway? It is not a repeatable effect since these specializations can't specialize again.
