A fun sphinx themed deck, that also comes with some fun combos.The best combos so far are as follows:

Conundrum Sphinx + Sphinx of Jwar Isle. There are a bunch of things in this deck that involve the top cards of your deck. Now you'll always know it.

Grand Architect + Sharding Sphinx. Grand Architect already provides us with fairly good ramp, and it gets better everytime we land a blow.

Consecrated Sphinx + anytime opponents draw. Always have card advantage.

Conundrum Sphinx + Tunnel Vision. Take a player out neat and efficient. Combine with Howling Mine for near instant death.

And of course, what deck with Sharuum the Hegemon would be complete without a Blood Artist and Phyrexian Metamorph?

I'm looking to replace Petra Sphinx and Serra Sphinx, but I'm not sure what to add in.
