I can't believe this hasn't been done... or has it, and I missed it?
As a sidenote, I wish egg were a creature type for this, Roc Egg, and Ludevic's Test Subject.
Rukh Egg too. But it IS.
This seems like an actual valid use of a dual-faced card, annoyingly enough.
Except that it was made a bird on the Gatherer. :(
Oh, awesome. I love the idea of the egg mechanic, and this uses is as a fillip to a good flying creature.
In fact, I think I prefer it to be "When ~ dies, put a 0/4 ... with 'When this dies, return a creature card named ~ from your graveyard to the battlefield'". That's slightly less good, because exile or graveyard hate can get rid of it but that interactivity is probably good for the game, and it's slightly shorter, and I actually prefer the flavour of the bird actually dying: I always imagined Phoenixes physically died, even if they were reincarnated into their egg...
This is most reminiscent of Sengir Nosferatu.
This is fantastic Phoenix flavour. Unfortunately it's infinite with any sac outlet, so perhaps one trigger or the other could cost a little mana?
Jack, I thought about that when I made it, but now that you mention it, I do like that flavor better. I'll change it.
Alex, that's a good idea. I should have realized it needed that when I made it.
Changed ability slighty. Now it also goes for any phoenix.
I made it so that it hatches any phoenix in your graveyard, because I thought it might be interesting... but I might change it back.
Added missing quotation mark.
Reworded.
Hey! Something very similar to this was spoiled today as Deathpact Angel. Cool.
