Sphinx Tribal EDH Combo Deck.

I pulled a Foil Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign from a prize pack at the HOU pre-release and decided I had no choice but to build a deck for it.

This deck's goal is semi-obvious. Play Unesh and get tons and tons of cards into my hand. It can win either by dealing damage with tons of big flyers, or with any of it's combos. The Sphinx theme can help facilitate the combo.

  1. Have an Illusionist's Bracers equipped to either an Aphetto Alchemist or a Tidewater Minion. Then if you have either a Prodigal Sorcerer or a Zuran Spellcaster on the battlefield you can infinitely ping everyone down to 0 life.

  2. Have a Prodigal Sorcerer or a Zuran Spellcaster enchanted with a Curiosity or soulbonded with a Tandem Lookout and infinitely ping everyone down to 0 life. (Infinite because of Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre)

  3. Have Mind Over Matter and a Temple Bell on the battlefield and force everyone to draw past their library. (except for you because you can discard Ulamog at will)

The deck works quite well but I am looking for some more consistent ramp options since I occasionally find myself stuck at 5 mana and unable to cast Unesh. Suggestions are welcome, but before suggesting turning all my lands to blue mana-producing lands, remember that there is a Kozilek, the Great Distortion that this deck wants to cast that requires colorless mana. Having 10+ cards in hand with a Kozilek in play is a huge benefit. (Also I'm a huge anti-meta activist so don't suggest Sol Ring.)
