Card text
When this enchantment enters, you gain 7 life. You become a card until you leave your library or that library is shuffled. Put yourself seventh from the top, balancing the cards on top of you on your head. When you draw yourself, you win the game. When one or more cards fall off your head, exile them and all cards on your head, then sacrifice this enchantment.

As clever as it may be, drawing a picture of yourself doesn’t count as drawing yourself in this context.
As long as you’re still in your library, you’ll remain a card even if Form of the Approach of the Second Sun leaves the battlefield.
If Form of . . . you know . . . leaves the battlefield, there will be no consequence for cards falling off your head. Just put the cards back and try not to knock your library over in the middle of the game. Of course, you won’t win the game for drawing yourself either. You’ll just stop being a card and the game will continue.
If you draw yourself, you stop being a card, but you don’t immediately draw another card to replace yourself.
If you put yourself into your hand (ow) without drawing yourself, such as with a “tutor” effect, you’ll just stop being a card. The ability that has you win the game won’t trigger.
If you put yourself somewhere else in your library without shuffling, all cards on top of you should be balanced on your head. This is also true if cards are put on top of your library while you’re in that library.
If you’re on top of your library, and the top card of your library is revealed, this should have no effect on what you’re wearing.
No player may physically interfere with you or touch you in any way to try and get the cards on top of you to fall. If another player is instructed to touch your library while you are a card, communicate with them to follow the instructions safely and comfortably. For example, if an opponent is instructed to look at the top card of your library, you should hand them that card, and so on.
To balance cards on top of your head, the cards must be above your head and physically connected to your head in some way, held up only by gravity. The cards don’t have to be touching your head, so they can be balanced on top of a hat, for example, but you can’t put something on top of them or use adhesives to keep them in place. A good test to see if you’re balancing them properly is that the cards should be able to fall off if you tilt your head until it is horizontal.
While in your library, you are a planeswalker card, but you don’t have a mana cost or any other characteristics. If instructed to search for a planeswalker card or for any card, you could find yourself (literally as well as spiritually).
