    My all-time favorite sphinx is Sphinx Ambassador. The art is so good and its effect is busted in commander. It not only let's you see your opponent's deck and force them to guess which creature, it allows you to reasonably deduce their hand and finally force them to shuffle.

    Color-wise green is still missing. Though its marquee creature type - beasts - might present a challenge due to their diversity or even lack of defining features. Wurm are also quite iconic but might be to rare.
    Separate idea: how about a stundy on elementals or create types that are a profession not a race, e.g. clerics, soldiers, druids, wizards, etc.

    I commend you for your in depth analysis and elaborative storytelling however i must admonish you for missing the most enigmatic sphinx of them all. Big words aside i think arjun the shifting flame is the most emblematic of the sphinxs in that we know literally nothing about him. Including why hes the only blue red aligned sphinx i can think of from an unknown plane no one has ever visited. Hes the reason i fell in love with magic and i think he wouldve been the perfect endnote to the video.

      @TheLorebrarians  3 года назад +3

    Love your content. But unfortunately I find the audio is somewhat hard to listen to. At least for me, the 's' sounds and 'sh' sounds are very harsh. If you could look into reducing the sibilance in your microphone recording, I think it would help your video quality a lot. Hope this is constructive, I really love your stuff.
