To gain audience with the hegemon, one must bring a riddle she has not heard.

Sharuum gets a bad rep for being one of the most combo-heavy Commanders in the game, but I am here to show you that there is another way, friends! Our favorite winged kitty does not have to be the ire of your play group, and can be a part of one of (if not THE) most fun decks I have ever built.

When I put this deck together, I wanted to go sphinx tribal, since they are my favorite creature type, but I needed a theme to go with them beyond that. Thankfully, Sharuums flavor text provided the answer: RIDDLES! The deck is full of cards that make your opponent make choices about how your deck runs.
