Description
The Sphinx of Uthuun stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering Commander product line, originally released in 2014 as card number 128. This rare blue Sphinx creature demands seven mana to cast, reflecting its significant impact on the battlefield. With a power and toughness of 5/6, it brings substantial staying power to any deck while sporting the Flying keyword for evasion. What distinguishes this card in the eyes of collectors and players is its intricate entry effect. Upon entering the battlefield, the controller reveals the top five cards of their library. An opponent then divides these cards into two piles, allowing the controller to choose one pile to add to their hand while the other is placed into the graveyard. This mechanic introduces a layer of strategic interaction, forcing players to weigh the risks of card advantage against potential resource denial. For enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this piece represents a key component of the 2014 Commander series. Designed by Kekai Kotaki, the card embodies the thematic depth of the set, appealing to those who appreciate both strategic gameplay and collectible card art. Whether used in competitive constructs or casual games, Sphinx of Uthuun offers a unique blend of power and decision-making that continues to resonate with the community.
