About Windreader Sphinx

Windreader Sphinx, Creature — sphinx, designed by Min Yum first released in Jul, 2013 in the set Magic 2014 and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.17.

A deck focused on flying creatures, such as a blue-white or blue-black control or tempo deck, would benefit from including Windreader Sphinx as it provides card advantage whenever a flying creature attacks. While Windreader Sphinx is a solid card for such decks, there are potentially better options like Bident of Thassa, which not only draws cards when creatures attack but also taps down opposing creatures. Whether Windreader Sphinx should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, but it can definitely be a strong inclusion in the right build.

Rules

07/13/18

It doesn’t matter who controls the creature with flying or which player or planeswalker that creature is attacking. Windreader Sphinx’s controller is the player who may draw a card.

07/13/18

The creature must have flying immediately after being declared as an attacking creature in order for Windreader Sphinx’s ability to trigger. For example, attacking with Kitesail Corsair will cause the ability to trigger, and attacking with Pegasus Courser and a creature without flying will cause the ability to trigger only once.
