As soon as I saw Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign I wanted to make a Sphinx deck. While looking through the options presented, I came across Curator of Mysteries and wondered if this could be worked around. Abandoned Sarcophagus , Drake Haven , and New Perspectives add further synergy. I tried to include a lot of the basic staples, but found their mirrors with cycling. A bit less cost effective, but a neat theme that gives some options.
