This is a Sphinx tribal deck. It's primary goal is to cast and/or cheat in large Sphinxes with interesting triggered abilities. It has some elements of artifact reanimator decks, but it very intentionally lacks any of the usual degenerate elements (i.e., no Disciple of the Vault, no Bitter Ordeal, no Phyrexian Metamorph, etc.)

Key interactions:

• Strionic Resonator + pretty much any Sphinx
• Mindslaver + Mistmeadow Witch + Sharuum the Hegemon in a one-on-one game forms a Mindslaver lock.
