What it does
Flying
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile an instant or sorcery card. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then that player puts the exiled cards that weren't cast this way on the bottom of their library in a random order.

Where it came from
Dazzling Sphinx was released in 2021 as part of the Commander 2021 expansion for Magic: The Gathering, specifically featured within the Prismari Performance preconstructed deck. This set was designed to showcase the two-color identities of the Strixhaven University setting, with this particular creature representing the blue-red alignment centered on creative expression and impulsive magic. Its design centers on the 'cascade' mechanic, a popular feature that rewards players by allowing them to play additional spells for free, emphasizing the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the Prismari mages.
The card was illustrated by Oriana Menendez, who utilized a vivid, painterly style to capture the creature's ethereal and scholarly essence. Menendez focused on themes of light and energy, using a bright, swirling color palette to reflect the artistic spirit of the college of Prismari. Upon its release, the card was generally well-received by the Commander community for its utility in spell-focused strategies, serving as both a defensive flyer and a reliable source of card advantage that aligns well with the typical high-mana tempo of the multiplayer format.
