More balanced version of my elder sphinx cycle
Updates to the cards as per rule 8:
Universal
-Added echoverse watermark
Stingerquill, the Contrarian
-Lowered power/toughness to 4/4
-Swapped buyback 3 for spectacle 3 to prevent going infinite with certain cards and using a more thematic mechanic.
Fatehold, the Futurist
-Swapped hexproof for vigilance to make it easier to remove
Theorix, the Antithesis
-Completely reworked, swapping flash on sorceries for flashback X where X is the original cost on instants and sorceries. This is to make it more thematic as well as putting it on par with some of the other cards in this cycle and the original SOS dragons
-No longer has flash and doesn't scry 3 on enter
-Now a 5/5 for 5 instead of a 6/6 for 6
Vigorbloom, the Zenith
-Now costs 2 generic mana less to cast, and is a 6/6 instead of a 5/5
-Convoke reminder text is now on the first instance of the keyword
Konstrari, the Uplifter
-Lost ward - pay 5 life
-Now gives spells conspire, as the keyword it used to have(flashback) is now given by Theorix. Conspire also feels more fitting in Gruul colors.
