Sphinx's Revelation is obviously a huge bomb in Standard, and in a vaccum it looks like a great card. My concern with it, though, is how fast Modern is as a format, and how slow SR can be; you usually want to play it at X=3 for a good balance of timing and effect.
In Gruul zoo modern I've killed someone who went off for it twice gaining 12 total. when gruul zoo can kill you conistanty (goldfishing) by turn 4-6, and rdw can consistantly kill you turn 4-5, its just really not a ton fast enough. Though hitting it late game to sablize is good.
I quite like it quite a bit in the decks that can live long enough to use it, i.e. the UWR Control decks. Feels just like standard in those cases! It's only a matter of time before it starts to seep in even more imo.
