Do we even have to say why it's good or how to use it? It tells you right on the card.

Welcome back, old friend. Let's go wreck Standard along with the other crazy red stuff Return to Ravnica block gave us.

Best in the cycle! Comes out quick and early, and can be recurred easily if you are playing in the right deck. It's no Magma Phoenix, but it is awesome in its own right.

This card is a constructed dream but also seems quite nice in one of your first packs in limited since Wild Guess is a common.

Chandra's deck in Duels 2014 is one of my favourite decks. This majestic bird is the primary reason.
Perhaps even more relevant now than when this card was first printed, since Chandra is actually playable now. Chandra, Pyromaster, I love you.

1. Have Ogre Battledriver on the field 2. Play Chandra's Phoenix, attack with the 4/2 flyer 3. Fling the Phoenix for 4 more damage 4. The Phoenix is sacrificed as a part of the cost, so it's in the graveyard before Fling resolves. It returns to your hand.
It's nice to have many Phoenixes, as they all return to your hand when you damage the opponent with one spell or planeswalker. I hope to soon play a Shock with an Elite Arcanist and return several Phoenixes and create several Elementals.

This is actually a really good pitch card to use with Jaya, whom, lets be honest, will ALWAYS be the best red 'walker there is.

Suddenly the Izzet Charm is lovable. Draw a card discard the Phoenix, burn them and the Phoenix pops right back into your hand.

This seems perfect to work with Tibalt, the Fiend Blooded return them to your hand before activating his +1 to reduce the odds on turfing something good and if you turf Chandra's Phoenix you can get it back by burning an opponant. Ditto Tymaret, the Murder King although his return to hand mechanism is different.

Such a fantastic card; flavorful, powerful, interesting, and it has combo potential. In my mind the phoenix is nearly as iconic a red creature as the dragon and I pray for a new rare phoenix every set.
You know that the Phoenix actually originates in Greek mythology, dare I hope for a Mythic Rare Phoenix in the Theros set? Please Wizards, at least a rare one...

This card isn't .7 points worse than it was two years ago. Maybe it was overvalued then, but it isn't a 3.6. smh It flies, hastes, gets returned to the hand. An evasive threat that helps RDW go long and finish games they couldn't otherwise finish is good. (It is pretty specific as to which decks should play it though. That helps justify some of the low score.)
