Sharding Sphinx Rules Text & Legality

Sharding Sphinx

Flying

Whenever an artifact creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may create a 1/1 blue Thopter artifact creature token with flying.

Whether mechanical or biological, life finds a way to propagate itself.

Sharding Sphinx is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.

Sharding Sphinx Rulings

  • Oct 1, 2008

    If combat damage is dealt to players by multiple artifact creatures you control (including, perhaps, Sharding Sphinx itself), Sharding Sphinx's ability will trigger that many times. You'll get that many Thopter tokens. You'll get just one token per creature, no matter how much combat damage that creature dealt.

  • Oct 1, 2008

    The only difference between a colored artifact and a colorless artifact is, obviously, its color. Unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact requires colored mana to cast. Also unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact has a color in all zones. It will interact with cards that care about color. Other than that, a colored artifact behaves just like any other artifact. It will interact as normal with any card that cares about artifacts, such as Shatter or Arcbound Ravager.
