Sphinx of Clear Skies
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Flying, ward 2
Domain — Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, reveal the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of basic land types among lands you control. An opponent separates those cards into two piles. Put one pile into your hand and the other into your graveyard. (Piles can be empty.)
Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2022-09-09
That opponent may choose to put all of the cards into one pile and leave the other pile empty. In that case, the ability’s controller chooses whether to put the revealed cards into their hand or into their graveyard.
- 2022-09-09
The player who controls the triggered ability chooses which opponent separates the cards into two piles. This choice is made after revealing those cards.
- 2022-09-09
The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. Land types other than basic land types (such as Desert) don’t contribute to domain abilities.
- 2022-09-09
Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Sphinx of Clear Skies. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
