Phoenix contest
In magic there are a lot of creature types that get support and new members almost every year.
Many or all of these are very popular by the masses of mtg players.
There are however some very popular creature types that doesn't get so much love.
One of these are the Phoenixes.
The phoenix is very rarely printed and when they are, they are rarely powerful or even playable outside of limited or casual.
There are for the moment a humble amount of only 15 Phoenixes in all of magic, something i believe does not give justice to the interesting nature of the phoenix. It dies and from the ashes it rises again.
Example:
rules:
- Create a phoenix creature OR something that support phoenixes.
- The card needs some kind of Revival effect or ability that brings the phoenix back to the battlefield, hand or similar.
- No cards older than October this year.
- Max 3 entries per contester.
- General rules that is used by the forum and cardsmith (Keep it child-friendly.)
- Credit the artist OR provide a link with the source of the art.

Glad you do!
Another Sunflare Phoenix!
Flamewake phoenix however is an awesome little bird, easy to fulfill it's condition of revival and very cheap to revive at that.
I used to play a Temur deck during Tarkir where i had both the Phoenix, Shaman of the great hunt and stubborn denial, they did some great work together.

My initial plan was to make it all red but this concept seemed so white (+1+1 Aura, resurrection) that I couldn't help but to make it red/white instead. This may have been a mistake, so please just disregard the color haha
