Where it came from
Citywatch Sphinx was released in 2018 as part of the Guilds of Ravnica expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card represents the Azorius Senate, one of the ten iconic guilds inhabiting the cityscape of Ravnica, a plane defined by its sprawling, planet-wide urban environment. It was designed to function as a mid-range flying threat, utilizing the guild's signature 'surveil' mechanic to help players manage their deck composition during gameplay.
The artwork was illustrated by Svetlin Velinov, a veteran artist for the game known for his polished, high-fantasy style. Velinov aimed to capture the imposing, law-enforcing nature of the sphinx, depicting the creature amidst the neoclassical architecture of the Azorius precinct. The design emphasizes the sphinx's role as a guardian, blending the character’s regal, bird-like features with the rigid, authoritarian aesthetic typical of Ravnica’s legal system.
