Deck Description

Here is my Esper Sphinx build for Modern. This deck is built around the Master Transmuter + Sphinx Summoner combo, which allows you to search your library and play large artifact creatures on the cheap.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

How to Play

Ideal starting hand:
Island
Arcane Sanctum
Swamp, Plains or Esper Panorama
Vedalken Engineer
Sphinx Summoner, Fabricate &/or Master Transmuter
Duress, Echoing Truth &/or Into the Roil

Mana fix with Esper Panorama & Arcane Sanctum, and ramp with Vedalken Engineer or Etherium Sculptor within the first 2-3 turns. Ideally you should play Master Transmuter or Fabricate / Sphinx Summoner (to search for Master Transmuter) turn 3 or 4. From there you can combo Master Transmuter and Sphinx Summoner to search and field offensive creatures such as Inkwell Leviathan, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Sphinx Sovereign. If playing Two-Headed Giant, get Magister Sphinx into play a.s.a.p. This will cause the opposing team to be on defense early on. Sharuum the Hegemon, Sanctum Gargoyle and bounce spells to protect Master Transmuter & Summoner Sphinx.
