What it does

Flying

Whenever a creature with flying attacks, you may draw a card.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2018-07-13

    It doesn't matter who controls the creature with flying or which player or planeswalker that creature is attacking. Windreader Sphinx's controller is the player who may draw a card.

  • 2018-07-13

    Windreader Sphinx's ability will trigger when it itself attacks.

  • 2018-07-13

    The creature must have flying immediately after being declared as an attacking creature in order for Windreader Sphinx's ability to trigger. For example, attacking with Kitesail Corsair will cause the ability to trigger, and attacking with Pegasus Courser and a creature without flying will cause the ability to trigger only once.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Windreader Sphinx

6 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Windreader Sphinx — a name search across every version, for 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.
