Character Background

Sphinx of New Prahv is a high-impact, evasive four-drop that best supports a control or tempo plan: its flying and vigilance let it both apply pressure and block enemy flyers while its static tax — “Spells your opponents cast that target this creature cost {2} more” — massively raises the price of single-target removal, protecting your planeswalkers and other key cards. In practice it stabilizes the mid-to-late game by forcing opponents into inefficient answers or committing extra resources, so slot it into UW control or Azorius tempo shells alongside counterspells and sweepers. Specific synergies include pairing it with Thalia-style tax effects to punish both targeted and noncreature strategies, and with planeswalkers (like Teferi-style finishers) that benefit from an evasive, hard-to-remove defender. Deckbuilding tip: run 2–3 copies and prioritize non-targeted board clears and cheap interaction so you don't rely on Sphinx as your only answer; it’s primarily a tempo-stopping, value-protecting threat rather than a finisher on its own.
