About Ominous Sphinx

Ominous Sphinx, Creature — sphinx, designed by Lars Grant-West first released in Jul, 2017 in the set Hour of Devastation and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.20.

This card, Ominous Sphinx, would be a great addition to a control or tempo deck in Magic: the Gathering that focuses on card advantage and disruption. It can be particularly effective in a deck that includes a lot of cycling or discard effects to consistently trigger its ability and weaken opposing creatures. While there may be more powerful cards available for similar mana costs, Ominous Sphinx's ability to provide incremental advantage over time could make it a solid choice for certain strategies and metagames.

Some cards have an ability that triggers whenever you cycle any card. These triggered abilities resolve before you draw from the cycling ability.
