This card would be beneficial in a control or midrange deck that focuses on card advantage and drawing cards. The ability to draw three cards upon entering the battlefield is powerful, especially if the kicker cost is paid to avoid discarding cards. However, in competitive Magic: The Gathering, there are better options for card draw such as Snapcaster Mage or Jace, the Mind Sculptor that provide more versatile and impactful abilities. Sphinx of Lost Truths may not see much play in high-level competitive decks due to its limitations compared to other available options.

The two possible results are as follows: -- When an unkicked Sphinx of Lost Truths enters the battlefield, you draw three cards, then discard three cards. -- When a kicked Sphinx of Lost Truths enters the battlefield, you draw three cards.
