Sphinx tribal. Somewhat. Mostly. I want to have as many sphinxes as I can, particularly Esper-colored sphinxes, without diluting Yennett's odd gameplan too much. Unfortunately some of the best sphinxes are even-CMC. No biggie.
Sphinxes bring some weird ETB effects and the like along with slightly overcosted flying bodies. Hard to build around in the true tribal respect but Esper colors bring a lot to the table. I'll try to include a bit of protection to keep my commander in the game, some top-deck manipulation, and an EmPhAsIs on odd-CMC cards.
Lands need an upgrade--just used what was on hand.
Sphinxes that don't make the cut: Show
Cards to likely add: Show
Cards to maybe add: Show
Windfall -> Vega?
Steel of the Godhead -> Breach Multiverse?
patient rebuuilding -> rush of knowledge
stroke of midnight, void rend, imprison moon, remove forsake, esper charm?
Cards with an SL are cards I own. Cards with MP are potential cuts.
