Where it came from
Approach of the Second Sun was originally released in the 2017 Amonkhet set for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed as a unique alternate-win condition, forcing players to manage their resources and deck flow to cast the spell twice. Its mechanics are deeply tied to the lore of the plane of Amonkhet, representing the prophecy of the return of the god-pharaoh Nicol Bolas, a climactic moment that served as the narrative centerpiece for that specific expansion block.
The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Noah Bradley, who aimed to capture the awe-inspiring and ominous scale of the event described in the lore. The visual focus on the massive sun crowning the horizon reflects the god-like power and impending disaster inherent in the card's function. Upon release, it was well-received by players for its ability to create dramatic tension in both casual and competitive formats, eventually finding its way into 'The List'—a curated selection of cards reprinted in Set Boosters to introduce newer players to iconic pieces of the game's history.
