Ash Phoenix
Creature - Phoenix
Flying, Haste
2R: Ash Phoenix gets +2/+0 until end of turn.
Escape—2RR, Exile three other cards from your graveyard.
Ash Phoenix escapes with a +1/+1 counter.
Pretty much everything I wanted Chandra's Phoenix to be. Flying paired with haste and being able to pump itself makes this very dangerous later in the game. Probably one of the better aggro red 3-drops that isn't a Rabblemaster / Hanweir Garrison variant.
This is one of the most exciting cards from this set. You are almost guaranteed to be able to Escape him after a mass removal. He is a great topdeck. Works well with Faithless Looting.
Not a lot of discussion on this, but great card! Red 3s are getting stacked, even for 720, but we’ll play this. Multiple lategame modes of pump and escape make this difficult for the opponent to manage.
Is this better than Seasoned Pyromancer or Hanweir Garrison? Those would have to be the cuts for the Phoenix. I’m thinking it’s better than Seasoned Pyromancer but I’m not entirely sure they are all pretty close
I think Garrison is better overall. As far as Phoenix vs Pyromancer, Phoenix is probably better in straight up aggro, but Pyromancer is probably better in other shells.

depends partially on your cube make up. This guy much better vs creature decks, but rabblemaster variants much better vs non interactive combo.
