The Ashen Ghouls are the Veilborn Ghouls, apparently not in the database.

The Sphinx is actually the Sphinx of Chimes from RtR. Basically get the ghouls into your hands (using a bunch of forbidden alchemy and then playing swamps works). Basically you discard two Ghouls to draw 4, then get the ghouls back whenever you play a swamp.

I\'m sure theres a better way to abuse the Sphinx, but thats the best I can think of, especially in standard. What am I missing here? What other cards come back to hand?

This is genius. With two Ghouls, the Sphinx essentially becomes "Landfall - Draw four cards." Too bad that Watery Grave is still a few months away, that would make the manabase easier and allow you to trigger the Ghoul's ability.

And I thought they wouldn't bring back landfall!
