Where it came from
Sphinx's Decree was released in early 2018 as part of the Rivals of Ixalan expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed as part of the Azorius (white-blue) color identity within the set's broader mechanical exploration of the Ixalan plane, which centered on tribal conflicts between pirates, dinosaurs, merfolk, and vampires. The card’s function, which prevents opponents from casting non-creature spells for a turn, reflects the control-oriented gameplay often associated with sphinx creatures in the game's lore.
The illustration was created by artist Igor Kieryluk, who has been a frequent contributor to Magic: The Gathering. Kieryluk’s work on this card depicts the regal and imposing nature of the sphinx, focusing on themes of law and celestial authority that define the card's mechanical intent. Upon its release, the card was received primarily as a niche tool for sideboards in competitive formats, recognized by players for its specific application against non-creature-heavy decks rather than as a staple for general play.
