The Ur-Sphinx (Artifact ETB) by DrBean

Format: Commander

Commander: The Ur-Sphinx

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck leverages The Ur-Sphinx to establish early mana efficiency through its eminence discount while assembling an overwhelming artifact and tribal engine. In the early turns, it deploys artifact mana accelerants and cost reducers to deploy high-impact Sphinxes ahead of curve. Once online, blink spells and triggers from cards like Panharmonicon, Roaming Throne, and Sharuum the Hegemon generate immense value and hand advantage. The deck seals victory through high-powered combat supported by Cyberdrive Awakener animating mana rocks, Magister Sphinx setting enemy life totals to ten, or casting The Ur-Sphinx to mill and steal opposing win conditions during massive combat steps.
