Where it came from
Approach of the Second Sun was originally released in the 2017 set Amonkhet, designed as a unique alternate-win condition card that rewarded players for patience and careful deck construction. Its mechanics reflect the apocalyptic lore of the plane of Amonkhet, where the arrival of the god Nicol Bolas was heralded by the alignment of two suns. The card's design was met with immediate interest from players who enjoyed its high-risk, high-reward gameplay.
This specific iteration from the Strixhaven Mystical Archive, illustrated by Minttu Hynninen, reimagines the card with the distinct aesthetic of the Strixhaven University library. Hynninen's art shifts the focus from the original's desert-themed horror to a more scholarly and arcane presentation, fitting the Archive's theme of collecting powerful spells from across the multiverse. Like other cards in the series, it was released to provide players with stylized, prestige versions of iconic sorceries and instants.
