Sphinx of Forgotten Lore
Sphinx of Forgotten Lore returns as an extended art foil suited for commanders and control lists that prize late game value. This 3 3 flyer has flash so you can play it on an opponent turn and immediately threaten skies. When it attacks you can reanimate an instant or sorcery from your graveyard with flashback until end of turn and the flashback cost equals that card's mana cost, a tidy way to stretch card advantage and pressure life totals while keeping answers in your back pocket.
The extended art frame and foil finish make this Foundations printing a practical pickup for players who want a playable mythic that also improves the look of a deck sleeve. Use it to protect countermagic, set up a surprise tempo play, or loop removal and burn in a single combat step. If you build around spells and graveyard interaction this Sphinx provides repeated value and a reliable engine for extra turns of spells; add it to your collection or deck and test how many turns you can squeeze from a single attack.
