Sphinx of Forgotten Lore — Evoke and Replay
Sphinx of Forgotten Lore arrives from Foundations as a borderless mythic that rewards careful sequencing. It casts for {2}{U}{U} and presents as a 3 3 flyer with flash, so you can hold priority and answer threats on your opponent turn before committing it. When it attacks you trigger a graveyard economy: target instant or sorcery in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn and the flashback cost equals that card's mana cost. That interaction turns overlooked draws into tempo swings and gives you reliable access to removal, countermagic, or card draw at attack windows.
The card plays well in control and midrange decks that value card advantage and flexible answers. Use it to reuse a key removal spell on the attack step or to doublecast value spells after a board wipe. As a borderless Foundations print in Light Play condition this copy pairs playable aesthetics with tournament ready functionality for players who want to leverage flashback loops without compromising deck consistency.
