-
Narset's Reversal
Bouncing your own resolving Approach back to your hand lets you recast it immediately, satisfying the 'cast from hand' requirement for the win on a second copy or a fast second cast.

- Apr 18, 2017
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.
- Apr 18, 2017
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.
