Description
Released in 2009 as part of the Masters Edition III set, the Firestorm Phoenix stands out among Magic: The Gathering collectors for its clever gameplay loop and distinctive foil treatment. Identified as card number 99 in the Masters Edition III expansion, this rare creature card brings a strategic depth that appeals to both casual players and serious set builders. The card features a mana cost of four generic and two red mana, allowing players to summon a six-mana threat that boasts flying and a unique resilience feature. When this creature would be destroyed, it returns to its owner's hand rather than the graveyard, forcing a temporary reveal restriction for the next turn. This mechanic creates engaging decisions during gameplay, making the card memorable in casual and vintage formats alike. For collectors focusing on Magic: The Gathering trading card game history, the Masters Edition III release represents a pivotal era of reprinted classics. The red foil variant adds visual appeal, drawing attention to Jeff A. Menges' artwork and the card's intricate details. Completing a Masters Edition III collection often involves seeking out this foil parallel, as it offers a polished finish that enhances display value. Whether you are looking to enhance your vintage Magic: The Gathering library or add a functional piece to your deck, the Firestorm Phoenix remains a compelling choice. The card's enduring presence in the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem highlights its lasting impact on the game's design philosophy. Collectors appreciate the balance between aesthetic quality and mechanical innovation that defines this release.

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
