I like it. It's not amazing, but it's resilient and it takes a decent chunk out of life totals with each swing. Thank goodness it has 2 toughness, unlike in DotP13. I feel that giving it haste or one more toughness wouldn't have made it that much more powerful though.

A great finisher; decent power, evasion, and nicely recursive. You just need to watch out for GY hate. A nice finisher for both RDW and CounterPhoenix.
Yes, Haste would have been nicer, but there are enough ways to give it that it isn't that big a worry.
4/5

A hundred years of war is right, this thing looks pretty resilient

Counter-Phoenix is one of my favorite deck, needless to say I'd enjoy creating new variation with Firewing.

A cheap phoenix that you don't have to build your deck around. It doesn't wipe the board like Magma Phoenix, but it's cheaper, has more power and fits in a creature deck. Kuldotha Phoenix is bigger, but it costs more mana and requires metalcraft to work. This thing has its place, and I'm definitely going to play it in casual.

And in DOTP they make it a 4/1. It's definitely a solid card though. Super cost efficient, and does what all phoenix's do well: stay available.

You guys are downrating this? 3.5 for what it is - don't compare it to what it's not.

This phoenix just keeps coming back for more. And a 4 power flier? Excellent!

Very nice and simple. It's a phoenix, it flies, it deals decent damage, and it can rise from the ashes. It fits nicely into my dredge Phoenix deck.
For those who are whining about how it doesn't have haste, Chandra's Phoenix and Kuldotha Phoenix are the only two out of all the Phoenixes that have haste.
