Gameplay

Creature — Phoenix

Flying If this creature would die, return it to its owner's hand instead. Until that player's next turn, that player plays with that card revealed in their hand and can't play it.

"The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix,/ Her ashes new-create another heir/ As great in admiration as herself." —William Shakespeare, *King Henry the Eighth*
