Guys, so what if it costs too much mana. You don't cast something like this. You cheat it into play, probably by reanimating it, or with something like Elvish Piper.
...or Sphinx's Herald if you really must.

Made her (his?) home in my Sharuum commander deck.

Currently the lowest-rated Sphinx on Gatherer, but still not all that bad. Good show, Sphinxes.

Let's try that again.
It's ability is a riddle meant to make you wonder if it is any good or not. A 6/6 flier is a 6/6 flier. But this is little more than that. I got 4 for a dollar on ebay.

Even though I only have one of these in an Esper-deck, it's such a dealbreaker once it comes into play. Etherium Sculptors are absolutely necessary in order for this one to ever see the light of day but once you've got those and some kind of tutor to fetch it, it's murder.

Sphinx Herald? That only generates card disadvantage. The next turn your Sovereign would just get bitchslapped by a Maelstrom Pulse, Pathed, Purged, pick your poison. And that's just in T2. Master Transmuter is the way to go. If the Sphinx did get hit, at least you didn't sac every other creature you had in play for nothing.

Really great card, IMO. Oh, and the answer to the riddle is wind.

Very versatile. Ought to be rated higher than it is. 6/6 flyer for 8 with a solid second ability is nice. A potential 9 lost life on your oppoent when it attacks or 3 life if you just let it sit there for blocking later. (There are plenty of ways to manipulate this guy however you want like Fate-Stitcher)
