Sphinx tribal with a small reanimate subtheme using the Fact or Fiction method of getting things in the graveyard.

Sharuum the Hegemon is probably a better commander for this, yes, but it's been done to death and I wanted to do something a little less cookie cutter. This is basically a big dumb fliers deck. Nothing fancy, nothing broken. Just play rocks, play sphinges (yes, that is a word) and soar to victory.

For a while there was a flying-matters theme but it wasn't very good so more ramp was added as it was needed seeing as most of these cards cost a ton. I'm mostly happy with where this deck is at the minute, but kinda want to get Skeleton Shard in there somewhere. But with only 8 or so artifact creatures, it's not worth it at the moment.

Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign fits the 'mini game' theme of guessing what's on the top of your deck pretty well, but could easily be replaced with Raffine, Scheming Scholar if I get one as it helps the reanimate package and is a nice early drop.

As always, comments are welcome!
