Scion of Halaster and Consecrated Sphinx
Asked by Enral 1 year ago
Does Consecrated Sphinx's draw two ability work with Scion of Halaster's "draw a card" ability? If so how does it resolve? Replace the first draw with Scion's triggered ability and draw a second card?

What you are asking is a little unclear. I will try to answer what I think you are asking. Feel free to clarify if I didn't answer what you were asking.
Scion of Halaster's replacement effect that it grants to commanders applies to the first card you would draw in any turn. This means that when Consecrated Sphinx causes you to draw cards on an opponents turn you will replace the first draw with looking at the top 2 cards, putting one into the graveyard, and drawing the other. The second card you draw from that Consecrated Sphinx trigger and all further draws on that turn will happen normally.
