Does Swarm Intelligence automatically Trigger Approach of the Second Sun win condition?
Asked by shamas889 6 years ago
If I have Swarm Intelligence on the table, and I cast Approach of the Second Sun will it trigger Approach twice, thereby winning the game?
Well, Approach of the Second Sun isn't triggered whatsoever, but instead checks whether you've cast it (which you didn't if you copy it with Swarm Intelligence), and whether you did so from your hand (which it wouldn't even if the previous were true) on resolution. Since its conditions don't apply, Swarm Intelligence will net you nothing other than gaining 7 extra life.

No.
Approach of the Second Sun checks wether you have cast a spell with that name before. Swarm Intelligence creates a copy of a spell on the stack, which is not the same as casting a spell.
706.10. To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isnt cast and a copy of an activated ability isnt activated. [...]
