This has actually quickly become my favorite Commander, and it was a hilariously inexpensive deck to make.
I think I paid, maybe, a total of $100 bucks on SCG for all of the cards I really needed.
Sure, it's a fairly easy deck to stop, in terms of countering/killing an early Unesh, but if it sticks?
I built the deck with heavy counter support because, quite honestly, it's a big dumb flying tribe and it dies to boardwipes, so of course you run heavy counter support.
Once you land an Urza's Incubator, most of your Sphinx besides the really expensive ones cost UU.
After that, it's pretty much just about playing 1-2 Sphinx's per turn while digging for more Sphinx's and more counters, until you hit Nyxthos, Shrine to Nyx and proceed to dump your hand every turn.
It's shockingly consistent when tested, and while yeah, it's not going to compete against a Tier 1 deck, my local meta is not filled with complete try hards, so I think it's in a good spot.
