First, outstanding artwork on this card.

Second, here we have Fact or Fiction. To those who aren't familiar with the card or were not involved in the game when Fact or Fiction was a big tournament player, the card is broken.

Fact or Fiction on its own was 3Blue. Subtracting that from the mana cost leaves us with 2Blue for a 5/6 flier. That seems absurd, but we also must keep in mind that Fact or Fiction was an instant, and this guy is a creature.

No, it's not as powerful as Fact or Fiction. Yes, it is still a monster. It's probably not quite good enough for constructed right now, but there are very few cards I would like to be sitting across from less than this guy in M12 limited.

Well, your opponent might make a bad choice if they're distracted trying to figure out how to deal with the 5/6 flyer while picking your stacks.

Sphinx of Uthuun is a good name for a rock band.

Fun card that may see some play if Magic slows down as much as people believe it will once the sets rotate for Innistrad, and maybe even a little before that. If nothing else, it's nice to have a Fact or Fiction that eats Baneslayer Angels for breakfast for the next few months.

Also, fabulous artwork.

this card is awesome and flavorfull. don't need to be 6/6 and fact or fiction is always good, no matter the turn. 5/6 flying and normally 2 cards or the card you need is a good deal.

3U for Fact or Fiction and 2U for a 5/6 flier seems fair.

Well this is almost close to being strictly better than blue's old faithful flyer Mahamoti Djinn

For 1 extra colourless, you get a tacked on Fact or Fiction but still keeping 5/6 P/T and flying

Thanks Wizards, you truly make old cards look bad...

5/5
