Description
Approach of the Second Sun, card number 64 in the Strixhaven Mystical Archive, represents a pivotal moment in Magic: The Gathering history. Released in 2021, this Mythic Rare sorcery card has garnered significant attention among collectors for its unique win condition mechanics and striking illustration by artist Nagano. The card’s design reflects the magical academy aesthetic that defined the Strixhaven block, making it a desirable addition to any themed collection. In gameplay, Approach of the Second Sun offers a dramatic turn of events. If cast from the hand after another copy has been played in the same game, it triggers an immediate victory. Otherwise, it provides life gain and places itself back in the library, creating suspense and strategic depth. This dual nature—offering both a powerful finisher and a resilient fallback—makes it a favorite in competitive decks and a fascinating study for rule enthusiasts. As a Mythic Rare, this card holds a prominent place in the set’s hierarchy, often sought after by those completing full set runs or focusing on high-rarity treasures. The card’s identity is cemented by its distinctive mana cost of six white mana and its seven mana value, requiring careful deck construction to utilize effectively. Whether you are building a competitive deck, expanding your library of rare cards, or simply appreciating the artistry and mechanics of Magic: The Gathering, Approach of the Second Sun stands out. Its presence in the Mystical Archive set highlights Wizards of the Coast’s commitment to innovative gameplay and collector-focused design.
