How it works

  1. Cast Approach of the Second Sun by paying 6W mana, causing you to gain 7 life and put Approach of the Second Sun into your library seventh from the top.
  2. Cast Vampiric Tutor by paying B mana, searching your library for Approach of the Second Sun and putting it on top of your library and causing you to lose 2 life.
  3. Draw Approach of the Second Sun from your library.
  4. Cast Approach of the Second Sun by paying 6W mana, causing you to win the game.

This elegant little sequence lets you turn a single cast of Approach of the Second Sun straight into a game-winning masterstroke without waiting to naturally cycle through six intervening cards. By immediately following up with Vampiric Tutor, you bypass the library-burying penalty entirely, reaching right down to fetch that second copy and place it right on top of your library. From there, you simply draw and recast it to fulfill its ultimate condition and claim victory.
