Check out our podcast episode where Kyle explains the deck:

http://legendarycreaturepocast.libsyn.com/a-terminator-and-a-riddle

In the second half of the episode Kyle dives into a riddle: how do you build a mono-blue sphinx deck? He deck techs a sphinx deck with Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign at the helm. He notes that with Unesh, you can capitalize on the diet fact or fictionfact or sphinxionthat comes with casting sphinx spells. But because it's mono-blue, there is a dearth of sphinxes available to fill out the strategy. He then techs some sub-strategiesincluding creature cloning and stealingthat can be used to build a highly interactive deck where the true riddle is how to win. Can Unesh steal another player's win con?
