Skybound Trickster
Dazzling Sphinx fits the Outlaws of Thunder Junction beat with a measured menace. Cast for {3}{U}{U} it patrols the air as a four five flying creature that turns combat damage into card advantage and disruption. When it connects it exiles cards from the top of the defender s library until an instant or sorcery appears. You get to cast that card without paying its mana cost and the rest get tucked on the bottom in a random order. That sequence makes the Sphinx a reliable way to profit from a single swing while reshaping an opponent s options.
In practical play the Sphinx rewards timing and attack selection. Bring it in when a clock is established or when a single spell could swing the game. It pairs cleanly with bounce and blink effects to reuse the trigger. The art and flavor sit squarely in the set s outlaw theme; this creature steals opportunity from an opponent and leaves their deck a little more unpredictable. The copy shown is near mint and English language from Commander Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
