For me this is a scary card because it gives anti-PC to  :time  :earth graboid decks and I'm not sure if they need a buff...
It's also weaker than Anubis and you generally won't use the :time in a Graboid deck for this (most pure :earth / :time Graboid decks run it off the mark, and don't have many valuable permanents.)

True, no sane 'fast' graboid deck will run either Anubis or this Sphinx against the AI, but what about pvp meta?

It would be suicide to run this in any Graboid/RT, Graboid/Ghost, Graboid/quake or just plain graboid/shrieker rush deck.

Good idea, but maybe it would be better to make it like artic squid vs. freeze. For example protect 3 :earth and upgraded 2 :earth

Nope, the relatively higher cost of freeze is due to it being reusable. You might argue that PA is also reusable, but who spams those?

Didn't you heard that Graboid decks don't use valuable permanents at all?
You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

Apart from pulvy, grav shield, pillars or eternity?  (and yes I've seen them all in pvp1 in the last week.)

But I'm just picking hairs, I don't like PA and immortality in the same deck doesn't feel right ...
