2/2 flier for 3R? Meh. 4/4 flier from your
graveyard for WUBRG? Also meh. You can play it
and replay it, so that's less meh, but if I'm
five-color, I'd rather have something big and
scary like Maelstrom Archangel, or Horde of
Notions. Im Limited it's a must-have in 5-color,
and a reason to go 5-color, but otherwise once
you're in all five, there's better options for
you.

It's been way too long since we had a fun new
phoenix card, much less one as fun to look at as
Worldheart Phoenix. You don't get quite as much
of an immediate impact out of it as with some of
the other "one mana of each color" cards in
Conflux, or indeed as the older ones outside of
Conflux. But then again, control decks relying
on the power of the firebird have appeared in
such unexpected places as Tempest block
constructed and Ninth Edition Standard, so never
underestimate a creature that can't die.
Constructed: 2/5
Casual: 3/5
Limited: 3/5

Constructed:
A new addition to 5-color control, maybe?
Casual:
In a domain deck it can come back from the
graveyard over and over again as a 4/4.
Interesting.
Limited:
A 2/2 flyer for 4 mana is okay. If you are
really crazy and are going all 5 colors this
would be a real great card that will not go away
normally.
Overall a interesting card with a new take on
unearth.
I don't like this card much at all. It feels
like WotC R&D guys were trying too hard to work
in the Domain mechanic here. It's pretty nice if
you can get the mana to operate it, but only a
couple of decks will ever be able to play it.
This isn't a card you're going to fear too much
unless it's waaaaaay late in the game, I'd
imagine. Casual players are likely to turn away
from it, because it's inferior to most other
phoenixes (phoeni? phoenixen? phoenix?) in the
game.
In limited, it's not a bad play, because it's a
flier, but it shouldn't be one of the first
cards you'r elooking to squeeze in.
Constructed: 2

Nice in any domain limited deck as you can often
recurr it for a 4/4 flier. It's always those
darn 4/4 fliers winning the games these days,
tower gargoyle im lookin at you. While it seems
great in domain it's not that great elsewhere as
it's only ability is where it shines and that
costs one of each. I think there's more fun
cards at casual then this guy. Constructed will
pass on him for sure.

What...the hell?
A 2/2 flier for 4cc? Right off the bat, that's
terrible.
Its second effect...5cc 4/4 flier? Am I reading
this card right?
This seems like one of the worst rares in this
set. I don't recommend playing this card unless
there's some odd use you will get out of it that
I can't think of right now.
