­Enigma Sphinx Avatar + Harmonize

Headasplode! ... every coloured artifact comes with a free smaller coloured artifact; and green card draw.

Ok, flavour on this harmoize reprint is about lying and truth, and we have a sphinx.

So clearly a green sphinx is in order, here. And... M:tG doesn't have a sphinx in green at all yet. Yay!

So, a green sphinx; that cares about cards and artifacts. Sphinx's fly; but otherwise don't seem to have any real identity. Green doesn't get flyers except at rare; so that means we could use some words.

I think, however, we'll go with just three plain-old keyword abilities; using the cat part of a sphinx for green's identity. "Flying. First-Strike. Protection from artifacts."

Well.. it's a workable green sphinx. Take the 'three' from harmonize and some flavour and done. And costing... and make old-school players wince? I guess I'll be a bit less cruel to them and make it a bit more. Not much more though.

Name... I want a green word. Jade. Ah; the Jade Statue/Jade Monolith/Jade Idol tell me that makes it an artifact. That fits the sphinxy idea too. (Reinforces the cost, too)

Mostly ignore the artifact fetch stuff; though. That seems massively broken.

I can see flying for a green artifact sphinx, if I squint. Really not so keen on the first strike though. How about trample?

This is somewhat unexcitingly sized for rare, though. Compare Giant Dustwasp, or outside green, Plover Knights. Making it uncommon would be fair.

Well, I thought flying for the rareness. First-strike for the cat :) Maybe haste instead?

I agree it's ended up fairly boring though. Let's downcost it one, see if that's scary enough. ...ok; I thought it already WAS cost 4 (hence my comments on jade) Humph.
