I've been interested in making an Approach deck for a while, and now that standard's calmed down and rotated, I thought I'd give it a try.Suggestions are welcome!
Play like the typical Approach deck. Draw a TON, nuke everything, win.Special interaction: If you can hit another Approach after casting one with Sunbird's on the field, you win on the spot. Also: if you can copy your spell with Primal's backside, you win on the spot.

cool combo idea, never thought of it but it looks like it would work well

Okay, I did some play testing... and no. It does not work well at all. Sunbirds actually ends up screwing you if you're not careful, because you can't choose not to trigger it. I played several games where I would opt at the end of my poopnents turn to put the approach I had recently cast into my hand, but then Sunbirds made me reveal it and put it on bottom.
Actually you will Not win the game if you copy Approach with Primal Wellspring or cast it off of Sunbird's Invocation. Approach literally says it must be cast from your hand which neither way actually does. Both ways are a nonbo. Primal Amulet may still be good for this build but not as a combo with Approach. Sunbird's Invocation is way to slow however and should probably be cut for Disallow or an early targeted removal spell like Lightning Strike.
Both of them say whenever you CAST a spell from your hand, thus the ability resolves before your original spell, meaning the spell you cast with them resolves first. So if you're casting a second Approach with it, the copy resolves first, then the one you cast from your hand - fufilling the card req - resolves next, winning you the game.
Oh snap I stand corrected. That line of play does actually work with Sunbird's Invocation. However it still doesn't work with the Primal Wellspring since you never actually "CAST" the copy it makes. When the original resolves it will be the first and only Approach that has been "cast".
And I stand corrected there. You are correct in that copying an Approach will not win you the game. However, I'm still gonna include it in the deck, because being able to cast a single Glimmer and get back to the Approach you cast last turn is still realllly good.
