Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2017-04-18

    If you have fewer than six cards in your library, you'll put Approach of the Second Sun on the bottom of your library. Otherwise, you'll lift up the top six cards without looking at them and place Approach of the Second Sun just under them.

  • 2017-04-18

    As your second Approach of the Second Sun resolves, it checks only whether the first one was cast, not whether the first one resolved. If your first Approach of the Second Sun was countered, you'll still win the game as your second one resolves.

  • 2017-04-18

    A copy of a spell isn't cast, so it won't count as the first nor as the second Approach of the Second Sun.

  • 2017-04-18

    A card that changes zones is considered a new object, so casting the same Approach of the Second Sun card on a later turn is “another spell” named Approach of the Second Sun.

  • 2017-04-18

    The second Approach of the Second Sun that you cast must be cast from your hand, but first may have been cast from anywhere.

  • 2017-07-14

    Approach of the Second Sun has no effect until it's resolving. If the second one you cast is countered, you won't win the game.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Approach of the Second Sun

8 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Approach of the Second Sun — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
