Where it came from
Approach of the Second Sun was released in 2017 as part of the Amonkhet expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to reflect the set's central narrative involving the return of the dragon god Nicol Bolas to the plane of Amonkhet. Mechanically, it functions as an alternate win condition, requiring a player to cast the sorcery twice, mirroring the ritualistic preparation for the 'Hour of Revelation' depicted in the game's lore.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Noah Bradley. Bradley utilized a saturated, golden-hued palette to emphasize the oppressive, sun-drenched aesthetic of the Amonkhet plane. The design was well-received by players for its dramatic tension and unique gameplay challenge, becoming a hallmark of control-style decks during its tenure in the Standard format.
