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 3.28.

The Ominous Sphinx card would benefit a control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's creatures while drawing cards through cycling or discarding. However, there are better options like Curator of Mysteries that offer a similar effect with additional benefits, making it more versatile and powerful in a deck. Ultimately, Ominous Sphinx could see play in specific cycling or discard-focused decks, but it may not be the optimal choice for competitive play due to stronger alternatives available.

An ability that triggers whenever you “cycle or discard” a card triggers only once if you cycle a card. The ability “Whenever you discard a card” is functionally identical to this ability; cycling is mentioned for clarity.

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