The last ability of Dragon's Approach lets you ignore the "four-of" rule. It doesn't let you ignore format legality. For example, during a Strixhaven Limited event, you can't add Dragon's Approach from your personal collection.
wotc16 Apr 2021
In most cases, you'll need to exile five cards named Dragon's Approach (the resolving one from the stack plus four more from your graveyard) to search for a Dragon card. However, if Dragon's Approach is a copy, you can still exile it along with four cards named Dragon's Approach from your graveyard to search for a Dragon card. The exiled copy will then cease to exist.
