- This monster appears in the artwork of "Impact Flip" and "Ordeal of a Traveler".
- In addition, it would appear to have a more powerful version of "Ordeal's" effect; whereas "Ordeal" can return an attacking monster to the hand if the opponent does not call a card correctly, this card can return all of the opponent's monsters to the hand once per turn.
- This particular sphinx is based on the Great Sphinx of Giza in a more exaggerated and undamaged appearance.
- In keeping with its theme as a guardian, this card effectively protects you by eliminating, for the turn, any monsters your opponent might attack you with. In addition, its DEF are significantly higher than its ATK, further accentuating its bias towards defending itself or its player.
- This card is similar to "Byser Shock". Both cards are Level 5 Effect Monsters that return cards on the Field to the Hand when Summoned a certain way; they also made their TCG debut in the same Booster Pack (in this case, Pharaonic Guardian.)
- This card has a upgraded counterpart "Pharonic Guardian Sphinx"
