I guess the aftermath naming convention is X to Y rather than X and Y

You, you bother me.

Specifically, your token.

How does this work if he's your EDH commander?

Like, if you exile it from your graveyard, can you choose to put him in your command zone?

Yes. However, note that the token does not deal commander damage

Is the translation off, or does it get around countermagic? It only talks about being cast, it doesn't sound like it needs to resolve to actually do anything. You get the "put back in library" on casting.

It doesn't say "when you cast ~" so it's on resolution. The "win the game" condition doesn't care if the previous cast resolved though

I'm reading both potential effects of the card (win/gain life) as checking only to see if the spell is cast, not resolution. I feel like the way this card should read is:
If Approach of the Second Sun was cast from your hand and you already cast another spell named Approach of the Second Sun in this game, you win the game.
Put Approach of the Second Sun in its owner's library seven cards from the top and you gain 7 life.

So in this case, the lifegain clause is now independent of the casting check, and just happens as part of the spell resolving. Unless they worded it this way to avoid having a player win the game in the middle of casting a spell. Which is why I was wondering if the translation was off, the wording on the English version might make this cast vs. resolve check more explicit.

Triggered abilities always start with when, whenever or at. This starts with "if" (si). It's not a cast trigger.

The Desert subtype will probably be relevant. You can cycle the green creature to break up the Saheeli combo

Why does a 5/5 beater need death touch? What is this losing in combat to?

He's a giant snake
