Wheres the Riddle?
No, seriously. That’s literally the first thought that popped into my mind upon viewing Enigma Sphinx. No instant thoughts of “Decent finisher in an Esper-based control deck,” or “What a wacky graveyard dodger!” I’ll share with you the cause of my distress. Sphinxes, on the whole, tell riddles. Therefore, it seems very appropriate that they gave a Sphinx the first name of Enigma. And as we all know, being fans of Magic and thus frequently at least interested in similar hobbies like, oh, comic books, E. Nigma is the name of one of Batman’s more recognized villains: the Riddler. Just as I thought the stars were truly aligned and that Enigma Sphinx would have to have the trickiest riddle of all sphinxkind, I scanned the italic text at the bottom, only to discover that it was the reminder text for cascade. I’m still a wee bit disappointed, but after coming up with the following deck idea, I wouldn’t trade away any of Enigma’s abilities for anything—not even an awesome riddle in the flavor
