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 win relies on Tidal Barracuda to let you cast sorceries at instant speed, opening up a bizarre window during your opponent's end step. By firing off Approach of the Second Sun right then, you trigger its first-cast condition while setting up a brilliant self-targeting loop. You immediately respond to your own spell with Swat Away, leveraging its reduced cost to cleanly intercept Approach of the Second Sun and place it right on top of your library instead of letting it bury itself seven cards deep. When your draw step arrives, you effortlessly pluck it back into your hand and cast it for the second time, instantly sealing the victory without ever giving opponents a chance to breathe on your turn.
