Immortal Phoenix slots straight into red’s midrange curve as a tempo punisher with built-in recursion.
At three power, it’s costed to punish control decks that lean on spot removal or lean traps that stall aggressive lines.
In a game defined by explosive combos and surgical answers, Immortal Phoenix stakes its claim by turning every kill into a potential swing back.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
On play, Immortal Phoenix offers Assault 2, meaning it hits for +2 attack when it attacks. That alone makes it a reliable three-drop threat on turn three or four.
Its real edge comes after you kill a unit with a spell: you may pay one Fire energy to replay Immortal Phoenix from your trash.
That reward loop turns removal spells into two-for-ones—cast a burn spell, kill a blocker, then recast your phoenix ready to attack.
Decks built around cheap direct damage (like Fireball or Void Seeker) will find extra mileage here, ensuring you sustain board pressure even when you’re answering opponent threats.
Visuals
Kudos Productions captures the rebirth theme with a translucent phoenix blazing in mid-ascension. Its wings blur into molten trails, each feather radiating embers that trail off like sparks on wind.
The background fades into deep space, underscoring the phoenix’s spirit origin—this isn’t just a bird of fire, but an elemental spark borne from cosmic flame.
The sense of upward motion aligns with the card’s self-recursion: death fuels its resurgence.
