Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Sphinx is a very fascinating creature type, so naturally it's not the first Sphinx deck I built, but this time I aim to provide a deck, that is friendly enough for 1vs1 commander, hence I tried not implementing too many counterspells into the deck, though I did go for Pact of Negation, since Ormos already costs lots of Mana and unlike black, mono blue struggles with creature resurrection.\nThe idea is to win through the power of knowledge, either by pumping our Ormos (and similar creatures) through the roof with it's own effect, milling our opponent while we're drawing cards or having our replacement win cons out.\n\nI'm already homebrewing that in 1vs1 counter spells exile themselves and or if cast before 5 Mana are available, the countered spell can be recast on its owner's next turn.\nIf you have any other ideas, how to make this deck more fun to play against in 1vs1 commander, without crippling the protection Ormos needs (as well as it's ability to remove threats), you can gladly let me know.\n"}]}
