I think it's important to make the difference between finishers (such as Sphinx of Jwar Isle) and win-more cards (such as Nomad's Assembly).

A finisher is something you use to end a game quickly. A win-more card is a card that only helps you if you are already ahead.

The Sphinx ends the game in 4 turns no matter what. It's a good win-condition. Nomad's Assembly is something that only helps you win if you already have a lot of creatures.
