"'''Sphinx'''" (スフィンクス ''Sufinkusu'') is an [[archetype]] of cards consisting of [[Beast]]-[[Type]] and [[Rock]]-Type [[Monster Card|monsters]]. The Beast-Types were used by [[Anubis]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie: Pyramid of Light]]''

* Special Summon this card with "Edea the Heavenly Squire", and then immediately Tribute Summon a "[[Monarch]]" or a "Mega Monarch" (especially "[[Zaborg the Mega Monarch|Zaborg]]", "[[Caius the Mega Monarch|Caius]]", "[[Erebus the Underworld Monarch|Erebus]]" or "[[Ehther the Heavenly Monarch|Ehther]]".)
  
==Beasts==
+
==Traditional Format==
The first group consists of [[LIGHT]]-[[Attribute]], [[Beast]]-[[Type]] monsters. These are "[[Andro Sphinx]]", "[[Sphinx Teleia]]" and "[[Theinen the Great Sphinx]]". They were released in an [[Exclusive Pack|exclusive pack]] after the release of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light]]''.  
+
* This card can be searched by "[[Sangan]]", "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]", "[[Last Will]]" and "[[Spellbook of Judgment]]".
  
"[[Pyramid of Light]]" quickly Summons the former two at a [[cost]] of 500 [[Life Points]] each, creating strong beat-sticks for no tribute (they can't attack the turn they are summoned though). These monsters cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed from the [[Graveyard]], so you will need to stop them from getting [[destroy]]ed by your opponent's card effect (most preferably by using the effect of "[[Stardust Dragon]]"). Or, if they are destroyed, return them to your hand using "[[Monster Reincarnation]]".

* Monsters with 800 [[ATK]] and 1000 [[DEF]] that can be Special Summoned other than "Eidos the Underworld Squire":
The reliance that these monsters have on "Pyramid of Light" can also be a disadvantage for two reasons: they are [[Dead Draw]]s in case you don't get, and it can be easily destroyed, specially with cards like "[[Nobleman of Extermination]]", which  can remove all three copies from play at once. However, even if cards like "[[Jinzo]]" or "[[Royal Decree]]" [[negate]] "Pyramid of Light", "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" can still be Special Summoned because they do so through their own effects.

"Theinen", the Triumph card, can be Summoned only by [[pay]]ing 500 Life Points when "Andro" and "Teleia" are removed from the [[field]] at the same time, making him a life saver in case your opponent destroys your monsters with [[Dark Hole]] or destroys the "[[Pyramid of Light]]" (which destroys both of them). One big problem with "Theinen" is that even with his one time boost, his attack is not enough to OTK the opponent (6500, 1500 points short). Also, he is one big [[Dead Draw]] in a Deck that already has problems with drawings.
 
 
 
== Rocks ==
 
The second group consists of [[EARTH]]-[[Attribute]], [[Rock]]-[[Type]] monsters. These include "[[Hieracosphinx]]", "[[Criosphinx]]" and "[[Guardian Sphinx]]".
 
 
 
They mainly enhance [[Deck]] which use the "Once per turn, you can [[flip]] this card into [[face-down]] [[Defense Position]]" effect. Though it has to be [[Tribute Summon]]ed, "Hieracosphinx" prevents your face-down monsters from being attacked. "Criosphinx" forces your opponent to [[discard]] card(s) from his/her hand after the same number of monster(s) on his/her side of the field return to his/her hand. Therefore "Criosphinx" and "Guardian Sphinx" form a combination which can prevent your opponent from viably Summoning anything.
 
 
 
"Exxod" is not a "Sphinx", but can only be Special Summoned by Tributing a "Sphinx". "Exxod"combined with "Hierarcosphinx" makes a lethal force; every time an earth monster is [[Flip Summon]]ed, "Exxod" inflicts 1000 points of direct damage to your opponents Life Points. With "Hierarcosphinx" on the field, your face-down cards cannot be attacked. The cards except "Hieracosphinx" are especially vulnerable to "[[Gaap the Divine Soldier]]" and "[[Final Attack Orders]]".
 
 
 
Also, "[[Dark Simorgh]]" and "[[Light of Intervention]]" can kill the effects of "Guardian Sphinx" and "Exxod, Master of the Guard" because a player will be unable to [[Set]] their monsters face-down, therefore monsters cannot be Flip Summoned.
 
 
 
"[[Clear World]]" is also a good addition to this Deck, since cards in this Deck have the effect of being flipped face down, and face down cards cannot be targeted by "Clear World".
