Deck overview

This deck leverages The Ur-Sphinx to lead an aggressive Esper Sphinx tribal and reanimation strategy. The early game focuses on deploying two-mana artifact acceleration and filtering high-cost Sphinxes into the graveyard using cards like Buried Alive, Careful Study, and Unmarked Grave. By Turn 4, cheap reanimation spells such as Reanimate and Animate Dead cheat massive threats into play ahead of curve. Cards like Magister Sphinx immediately invalidate an opponent's life total, while Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign and Sphinx of the Second Sun generate overwhelming card advantage and extra untap steps. Once the commander or multiple flying beaters take to the skies, combat triggers provide continuous free spells and card selection to close out the game around Turn 7. Efficient removal and counterspells protect the board and disrupt opponents throughout execution.
