Description
Sphinx of Uthuun stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2018 set, identified by card number 104. This rare creature card brings a mana value of seven to the battlefield, requiring five generic mana and two blue mana to cast. As a Sphinx, it boasts a flying ability and a power/toughness of 5/6, offering both defensive resilience and offensive potential. The card’s most notable feature is its enter-the-battlefield effect, which allows players to reveal the top five cards of their library. An opponent then divides those cards into two piles, with the controller choosing one to add to their hand while the other goes to the graveyard. This mechanic provides a strategic layer of card advantage and resource management, making Sphinx of Uthuun a compelling inclusion for blue decks seeking consistency. Designed by artist Kekai Kotaki, the card captures the mystical essence of the Sphinx subtype within the Commander format's legendary framework. Collectors and players alike appreciate this card for its unique interaction and its role in the Commander 2018 product line. The blend of mechanical depth and iconic design makes Sphinx of Uthuun a staple for enthusiasts looking to enhance their Magic: The Gathering collections with functional and flavorful additions.
