Secrets in Flight
Sphinx of Forgotten Lore arrives with a quiet menace and practical utility. With a casting cost of {2}{U}{U} this 3/3 flyer has flash which lets you present an immediate threat or hold up interaction. The art shows a watchful sphinx perched on a balcony amid arcane light and carved stone, a fitting image for a card that reaches into the graveyard to recover answers you already paid for.
When Sphinx of Forgotten Lore attacks it turns a graveyard into a second hand by granting an instant or sorcery card flashback until end of turn with a flashback cost equal to that card's mana cost. That interaction rewards sequencing and careful timing more than raw tempo. Use it to reuse a counterspell, double a removal spell, or set up a surprise draw in a control shell. Experienced players know this card smooths late game decisions and gives backup options without expanding your deck list.
