For getting Sphinxes out faster, there's cards like Herald's Horn, Pillar of Origins, or Urza's Incubator.

I like the build. 1+

I feel like the CMC is a little too high on the creature side. I would lower that and replace what you take out with a few more mana rocks. Mox Amber is probably out of budget, but you could still squeeze in some of the normal stuff like Fellwar Stone, Arcane Signet, and Herald's Horn. Urza's Incubator is a bit pricey, but still a step in the right direction.

theNeroTurtle, I agree with clayperce. It seems to me that the changes you’ve been making already show the direction you’re heading in. What needs to keep being done is continuing to filter the Angels and solidify the manabase. The focus should be, above all, on that and on card draw.

Some other options to keep in mind going forward, considering what I mentioned and also the possibility of exploring different approaches (+1/+1 counters, tokens, and so on): Herald's Horn, Vanquisher's Banner, Conjurer's Mantle, Patchwork Banner, Stoneforge Masterwork, Warrior's Resolve, Cathars' Crusade, Court of Grace, Teleportation Circle (with Inspiring Overseer or Karmic Guide), Together Forever, Cut a Deal, Split Up (just because it’s better than Guan Yu's 1,000-Li March), Sword of the Animist, Door of Destinies…

Crow_Umbra on Herald's Horn draw question?

1. Cast Herald's Horn, picking Rat/Merfolk/Elf/Goblin/etc. Pass turn.

2. Following turn starts, go through phases beginning with Untap.

3. Upkeep, look at the top card and it is a creature of your chosen type. You may reveal it and then put it into your hand. Even if it is a creature of that chosen type you may also choose to not reveal it and place it back on top.

4. Upkeep phase is done, go to Draw Step and draw for turn. At this point you will either draw the next card if you revealed and kept the previous one, or you will draw the card you saw with Herald's Horn, then placed back on top.

You only do this once per turn. If you could repeat, the text would probably have a clause stating you can repeat the process, kind of like Cultivator Colossus for example.

Edit addition - Last nit-picky bit, but Herald's Horn places the card into your hand and doesn't specifically say that you draw that card. That matters mostly for effects that check drawing.

Ruling text from the Scryfall pagefor Heralds Horn:

"If you don't put the top card of your library into your hand, you put it back on top of your library without revealing it. You'll draw it in that turn's draw step."

theNeroTurtle on Herald's Horn draw question?

Herald's Horn lets me draw of the chosen type. If I reveal the card, then draw... do I repeat the process, or does it only occur once per turn?

Oh, this is just fantastic! HUGE +1 from me!

I'm not at all sure if he'd be a good fit here, but Chameleon Colossus is one of my favorite Dragons, er, Hydras ... especially in a deck with a few +1/+1 counters. And if you find yourself needing just a bit more Card Advantage, Herd Heirloom or Herald's Horn might be worth trying.

Cheers!

clayperce thanks for the upvote and the suggestions! I hadn’t picked up the deck in a while, and in the meantime I’ve been testing several options. I’m generally not a fan - aside from a few exceptions - of lands that enter tapped, since I usually feel the upside doesn’t make up for the tempo loss. That said, Minas Tirith definitely needs to go in. As for Herald's Horn, I’m still testing it, but the angel count may be too low for it to really pay off, which makes it a bit redundant alongside Starnheim Aspirant and Pearl Medallion. Appreciate it!
