Emissary of Sunrise, Creature — human cleric, designed by Deruchenko Alexander first released in Sep, 2017 in the set Ixalan and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
Emissary of Sunrise would be a great addition to a white aggressive deck that focuses on combat and card advantage. Its first strike ability makes it a strong early-game threat, and the explore mechanic provides card selection and potential growth for the creature. While there may be more powerful cards in certain situations, Emissary of Sunrise's versatility and synergy with other cards make it a solid choice for decks looking to apply early pressure and maintain card advantage.

If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to explore but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still explores. If you reveal a nonland card this way, you won’t put a +1/+1 counter on anything, but you may put the revealed card into your graveyard. Effects that trigger “whenever a creature you control explores” trigger if appropriate.

Once an ability that causes a creature to explore begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it’s done. Notably, opponents can’t try to remove the exploring creature after you reveal a nonland card but before it receives a counter.
