Eligeth, Crossroads Augur. Card art for Magic the Gathering's Commander Legends set.
AD: Andrew Vallas

"Nothing pleases a sphinx more than searching for and discovering the secrets of the Multiverse. Centuries ago, Eligeth stumbled upon a truth that no being was supposed to know, and now he exists about five minutes into every possible future. To put it simply, if you were to speak with Eligeth, he would have already had the conversation with you and have experienced every possible permutation said conversation could take. Therefore, to you, it might seem like he is completely uninterested in everything you have to say, but in reality, he's already heard you out infinite times and has already answered your question as thoroughly and thoughtfully as possible—you just exist in the wrong timeline to hear the answer.

To put it even more simply, conversing with Eligeth is extremely frustrating."
