Reprint of Sphinx of Jwar Isle. No real stories here. I think I was just charmed with SoJI when it came out, and had an open slot to fill in the end, so I put in a card which I felt would make a very good staple big blue flyer for many years to come.
Now that I look at it, though, it occurs to me why this card hasn't cut the mustard for core sets. It has 'shroud' on it. How unfortunate. I suppose I will have to come up with a new Sphinx for this set. Something that doesn't do with drawing cards, I suppose. The set is flush enough with that.
