Approach of the Second Sun + Tidal Barracuda + Sudden Setback

Approach of the Second Sun

Tidal Barracuda

Sudden Setback

How it works

1. During the opponent's end step immediately before your turn, cast Approach of the Second Sun by paying 6 using Tidal Barracuda.
2. In response, cast Sudden Setback by paying its mana cost, putting Approach of the Sun on top of your library.
3. In your draw step, draw Approach of the Second Sun.
4. Cast Approach of the Second Sun by paying 6, winning the game.

This clever endgame sequence bypasses the usual seven-card wait for Approach of the Second Sun by treating your library like a revolving door. Tidal Barracuda is the linchpin of the strategy, letting you cast your spells during an opponent's end step while silencing any opposing interaction on your own turn. By targeting that initial casting with Sudden Setback, you intercept the spell before it can resolve and bury itself seven cards deep, placing it precisely on top of your library instead. All that remains is to draw it during your draw step and cast it once more to instantly claim victory.
