Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign (Tribal Sphinx) EDH Deck.

Fun mono blue commander deck that is heavy creature based with the aim of making Sphinx cheaper to cast and interacting with the board with triggers such as Master of Predicaments, Sphinx Ambassadorand Conundrum Sphinx with Sphinx of Jwar Isle.For control Guardian of Tazeem andSphinx of the Final Word to allow you to cast your powerful spells (Mainly extra time for more combat triggers). Since you should have solid board presence the need for mono blue control is reduced.This deck has a plethora of card draw/advantage running Consecrated Sphinx, Windreader Sphinx, Call to the Kindred and your Commanders ability(fortune's favour of mini fact or fiction).

The deck is built is tribal by focuses on abusing the Unesh; ETB trigger(Whenever Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign or another Sphinx enters the battlefield under your control, reveal the top four cards of your library. An opponent separates those cards into two piles. Put one pile into your hand and the other into your graveyard.) This can be copied with Panharmonicon and when coupled with Sphinx of Uthuun can dig very deep for your ultimate win condition of Dream Halls with Swan Song and Cryptic Command to protect it. Cast Laboratory Maniac and the mono blue cards should allow you cast sphinx/copy sphinx Clever Impersonator to cycle through your deck. Note Sphinx of Uthuun with Rite of Replication goes 45 deep with your commander out.

Issue are recursion addressed with Sword of Light and Shadow and Archaeomancer and Academy Ruins to get back most of what is left in your graveyard. Enough manna rocks and mono coloured doublers to card your high mana sphinx when your general is not in play.

Can be played to draw for win condition but interactively durdles very well to suit your play group.
