well it does combo well, but for some reason, I like sphinx of the steel wind better than this guy.

I don't think he's as bad as some of you make out, he'll kill your opponent in just a couple of turns if he can get through, and will still hurt your opponent even if he doesn't. What's really insulting about him though is that he's in the same cycle as Hellkite Overlord, which makes this guy look terrible.

People just forget that this card must come with the Sphinx's Herald, my deck can put this sphinx on the 4th turn, that is really good.
And we can't forget that we can just put 1 sphinx sovereign with sphinx's heralds (with the other color creatures) on the deck to have it on the battlefield.

Thanks, Chippy, for helping to make Esper a work of art.

This card is a loser if you don't have Master Transmuter in your deck with this.

Overcosted, plain and simple. Of course you can cheat it out since it is an artifact creature, but hard casting it is simply too expensive. At 8 multi coloured mana you need something devastating (I'm looking at you reiver demon, which is even mono), not a life advantage of 3 every turn.

how about an enigma sphinx, cant cascade into one of these guys, but you can get the sphinx summoner and play this buy next turn (you had 7 mana to play enigma, another mana and we have the soveregin)

Just think with 4 Etherium Sculpters on the field this is 4 mana for a 6/6!
