About Sphinx Ambassador

Sphinx Ambassador, Creature — sphinx, designed by Jim Murray first released in Jul, 2009 in the set Magic 2010. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 186.94.

This card would benefit a control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's strategy by stealing key creatures from their library. While Sphinx Ambassador can be a fun and flavorful addition to a deck, there are more efficient and powerful options available, such as Agent of Treachery or Gonti, Lord of Luxury, which provide similar effects with better value. Overall, while Sphinx Ambassador may not see competitive play due to its high cost and randomness, it can still be a fun and interesting card to include in casual or themed decks.

Rules

10/01/09

After the player names a card, check if the card you chose has that name. If it doesn’t, but it’s a creature card, you may put it onto the battlefield. If you don’t want to put that card onto the battlefield, it’s not a creature card, or it does have the name the player said, it simply stays in that player’s library without ever being revealed. The player then shuffles their library, including that card.

10/01/09

You may search for any card, not just a creature card. Of course, if you choose a noncreature card, you won’t be able to put it onto the battlefield no matter what card the player names.
