Where it came from
Approach of the Second Sun was originally released in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering set Amonkhet, designed by Wizards of the Coast to reflect the Egyptian-inspired flavor of the plane. The card depicts a central moment in the set's narrative, where the titular sun nears the horizon to trigger a cataclysmic event. Mechanically, it functions as an alternate win condition, requiring a player to cast it twice, which mirrors the slow, inevitable progression of the narrative it illustrates.
The artwork for the card was created by Noah Bradley, who utilized a distinct color palette of oranges and deep purples to convey a sense of impending doom and divine weight. It was received as a memorable and technically challenging card for constructed formats, praised for its ability to create high-tension gameplay. The inclusion of this version in The List signifies its ongoing relevance in the game's history as a quintessential 'build-around' card that forces opponents to interact with a ticking clock.
