# Sphinx's Revelation Sphinx's Revelation represents a pivotal moment in Magic's design philosophy around card draw and life gain. The card defined control strategies across multiple formats when it first printed, and collectors value it as a cornerstone of that era's competitive landscape. Modern Masters 2017 brought the card back at mythic rarity, making it accessible to players who missed the original Return to Ravnica printing. Both foil and nonfoil versions circulate among collectors, though foils command premiums due to their scarcity in limited print runs. The card's elegant design and format-defining impact make it a natural inclusion in control-focused collections. Its presence in a supplemental set rather than Standard rotation gives it particular appeal to players seeking powerful, proven cards without the volatility of standard-legal releases.
