Sphinx of Lost Truths
{3}{U}{U}
Creature — Sphinx
Oracle Text
Kicker {1}{U} (You may pay an additional {1}{U} as you cast this spell.)
Flying
When this creature enters, draw three cards. Then if it wasn't kicked, discard three cards.
Watch Out
ETB trigger, not a cast triggerRules Note
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
