A control deck focused on protecting its spells and maintaining board presence would greatly benefit from Sphinx of the Final Word. Its ability to prevent its own counterspelling, along with granting hexproof and uncounterability to instant and sorcery spells, makes it a powerful tool against opposing control strategies. While there may be other options like Teferi, Time Raveler or Narset, Parter of Veils that offer additional utility, Sphinx of the Final Word can be a strong inclusion in the right deck, especially against counter-heavy metas.
