Dazzling Sphinx
Creature — Sphinx
Flying
Whenever Dazzling Sphinx 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.

There are a few creatures that cause an opponent to lose half their life if the creature deals combat damage to them, like Unstoppable Slasher. Equipment like Quietus Spike and Scytheclaw can also give that effect. I'm not sure if this crosses your "no combo" rule, but teaming those cards up with Bloodletter of Aclazotz or Wound Reflection leads to one-hit knockouts. I personally don't see that as being much different than somehow being able to pump an infect creature up to 10+ power.
There are a bunch of creatures that let you draw a card when they deal combat damage to a player, so that's worth considering. There are also a bunch of specter creatures that force an opponent to discard if they deal combat damage. Dazzling Sphinx might be worth considering too.
Creatures with the Myriad ability could be something to look at as well since Kamiz can make the original one unblockable. Maybe just including Blade of Selves and Ironwill Forger to give creatures Myriad would be enough.

Dazzling Sphinx might work for a bit of extra casting triggers to trigger card draw, I've had some fun with it in my deck (I Sphinx You'll Find That's Mine)

Ravenrose: Thanks for the enthusiasm for this deck! I -really- enjoy it, as well. I am currently trying to revamp a bunch of my decks, and this one is going to see a -major- overhaul, when I get the time. I'm pretty sure Petra Sphinx will stay in the 99, because I have a soft spot for it as well. I'm going to have to look into acquiring a Dazzling Sphinx because that seems really cool.
I'll definitely post the changes to the deck when I get around to making them. Thanks again for the comment!

Yes! Another Sphinx tribal deck with Yennet! And you play Petra Sphinx!! I am so happy to see that Petra Sphinx is getting more play. I advise you to also play Dazzling Sphinx .
