Where it came from
The Sphinx of Magosi was originally introduced in the Worldwake expansion for Magic: The Gathering in 2010, designed as a rare creature intended to provide late-game card advantage through its unique ability to draw cards at the cost of mana. The artwork was crafted by Igor Kieryluk, who utilized a distinct, imposing aesthetic to capture the sphinx's role as a powerful, ancient guardian of knowledge within the game's lore.
The specific version released in the 2017 Welcome Deck represents an effort by Wizards of the Coast to curate accessible, thematic cards for newer players. By including established cards like this sphinx in starter products, the design team sought to introduce novices to complex mechanics such as card cycling and board control in a controlled, educational environment.
