If I discard a Chandra's Phoenix to Chandra Ablaze's +1 ability, and I choose to hit an opponent with the 4 damage, can I return that same Phoenix to my hand, or is it not yet in the graveyard when the 4 damage resolves?
Yes, you can return the Phoenix to your hand. Since the discard happens before the damage (the +1 ability says to "Discard a card" before "Chandra Ablaze deals 4 damage to ..."), the Phoenix will already be in the graveyard in time to trigger off of the damage being dealt.
