Sharding Sphinx

Description

The 2011 Salvat release of Magic: The Gathering offers collectors a distinct Spanish-language edition of the game's core set. Sharding Sphinx, identified by card number 51, is classified as a Rare in this checklist, making it a notable entry for those tracking the full base series. This card is an Artifact Creature with the Sphinx subtype, requiring a mana cost of {4}{U}{U} to cast. In gameplay, Sharding Sphinx brings a unique strategic layer to the table. As a 4/4 creature with flying, it controls the board while offering a powerful secondary effect. Whenever an artifact creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you have the option to create a 1/1 blue Thopter artifact creature token with flying. This ability allows players to leverage their artifact synergies for board presence and card advantage. The card's flavor text, "Ya sea mecánica o biológica, la vida encuentra maneras de auto propagarse," adds thematic depth to its mechanical nature. Art by Michael Bruinsma, this card is part of the PS11 set code. The Spanish version of Sharding Sphinx provides a tangible connection to the global Magic community. Its status as a Rare in the 2011 Salvat print run ensures it remains a focal point for enthusiasts building complete sets of this era.
