I'm just glad it has evasion and not just like Menace or something stupid like that.
Menace? In green?
Anyhow, this thing gives off serious Khalni Hydra vibes, except swapping out a "go wide" theme for a "go big" one gives us the interesting option to use pump spells as ramp. Using both Rhonas's Last Stand and this on turn 4 sounds extremely powerful.

I'm just saying generally speaking, there have been cards that could have better keywords but they don't want to push anything too far over the envelope.

That Sphinx looks a lot like Ahlammarret from Jace’s origins story (sorry if already mentioned).
I guess the blue hair does kinda nullify that :). Fun thought though...both have a similar beard and face...but I have a feeling many Sphinxes look quite alike.
The Sphinx is sitting atop a golden ledge. He's gotta be in Orazca
That's what I expected - Sphinxes seem like an adequate tribe to be found only in that long lost mysterious city probably containing the key to a planewide secret.
I personally expect Crucius to have more traces of Esper heritage, so I'm going with native Eldorado-based Sphinx.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

I love when they make cards like this. I always imagined Arixmethes being a Blue version of a card like this, maybe at like 10UUU or something. It's sort of like a Dino Metalwork Colossus in a way - I really like it even if I am not interested in Dinos.
Moderately maybe. It's a large threat that can't be chumped, but it's not evasive and you need to already have out a Hydra + Glorybringer to make this a 4 drop. If Temur Energy decides it wants this type of effect it will probably run Carnage Tyrant first.
Not exciting but very powerful. Combos nicely with Ragisaur Alpha, the Alpha knocks off 7 from the cost and adds in haste. Gishath also works too.

Dinosaur seems... interesting. If you were playing Sultai Death's Shadow in modern it wouldnt be impossible to get it for GG from 2 creatures and it has trample where shadows do not. Obvious EDH comment is obvious.

Modern: RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.
Potentially usable in Mono Green Stompy in Modern?
I don't know if it will be any good, but I am sure as heck going to try! Bonus, it makes Scooze even better for us! This could be the card we needed to be a serious deck.

Reminder of good old tarmogoyf that thing grows faster than mold.
Pairs well with Rhonas the indomitable along with turn 2 heart of Kiran. Given the fact that the 3 drop spot also has Prowling Serpopard in it that makes this really easy to cast. Another option is Weaver of Currents, which can generate double colorless mana and has two power on it's own.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
It's so elder that it doesn't even have feathers. It's probably one of the first dinosaurs that ever walked Ixalan.
I wonder if it'll be a cycle like the suns' avatars
I hope it's a cycle but I hope it's not as boring. So far dinosaurs seem like even worse versions of the beasts from Naya (Alara) as they interact with fatties but they're just all boring.

RIP Magic Duels. Wizards will regret what they did to you.
That, or this Sphinx is a planeswalker.
Menace actually isn't as bad a keyword as it looks at first glance. That said, it's not as green as trample.

Well i'm going with Azor
|| UW Jace, Vyn's Prodigy UW || UG Kenessos, Priest of Thassa (feat. Arixmethes) UG ||
Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
Yeah, I just noticed the other thread. That seems like a slightly better guess.

This 12/12 can be cast lightning speed in fatty decks
Isn't this modern potential due to how fast tarmogoyf's grow.

1 this legendary dinosaur is going to be a cycle
And 2 the white one is going o be named Kinjalli
I will be adding it in the 99 of my Rhonas the Indomitable deck for sure.
Turn 1 play Elvish Mystic
Turn 2 play Rhonas the Indomitable
Turn 3 play Deadbridge Goliath (or any 4 drop with power 4 or higher) and swing with Rhonas.
Turn 4 play Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Prey Upon, then attack with Rhonas.
