Sphinx of Lost Truths

Description

As card number 69 in the set, this Rare foil variant offers collectors a visually striking piece of gaming history. Designed for players who appreciate high-impact spells, Sphinx of Lost Truths is a blue five-mana creature with a power and toughness of 3/5. Its most defining feature is its Kicker ability, allowing casters to pay an additional {1}{U} to enhance its effect. When entering the battlefield, the Sphinx allows the player to draw three cards; however, if the kicker cost was not paid, the player must discard three cards instead. This high-risk, high-reward mechanic has made it a memorable card for both competitive decks and casual play, contributing to its enduring appeal among Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. For collectors, the Foil finish adds a layer of prestige to this Zendikar card. The reflective treatment highlights the intricate details of Shelly Wan’s design, making it a standout addition to any themed collection. Whether you are building a complete set of Zendikar cards or seeking specific Rare creatures to complete your library, this card represents a significant piece of Magic: The Gathering lore and gameplay. It serves as a testament to the creative depth of the 2009 expansion, blending strategic gameplay with artistic excellence.
