Sphinx Ambassador Rules Text & Legality

Sphinx Ambassador

Flying

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, search that player's library for a card, then that player chooses a card name. If you searched for a creature card that doesn't have that name, you may put it onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.

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

Sphinx Ambassador Rulings

  • Oct 1, 2009

    A “creature card” is any card with the type creature, even if it has other types such as artifact, enchantment, or land. Older cards of type summon are also creature cards.

  • Oct 1, 2009

    After the player names a card, check if the card you chose has that name. If it doesn’t, but it’s a creature card, you may put it onto the battlefield. If you don’t want to put that card onto the battlefield, it’s not a creature card, or it does have the name the player said, it simply stays in that player’s library without ever being revealed. The player then shuffles their library, including that card.

  • Oct 1, 2009

    Once you’ve chosen a card during your search, you must clearly indicate which card you’ve chosen (preferably without showing the front of that card to the player!). Then the player names a card.

  • Oct 1, 2009

    You may search for any card, not just a creature card. Of course, if you choose a noncreature card, you won’t be able to put it onto the battlefield no matter what card the player names.
