Fenghuang | Decks and Tips

Cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Return it to the hand. When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Destroy all Set Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls.

• It has a potential to wipe out the entire back row of your opponent.

• Attack is pretty low compared to other monsters that requires 1 tribute.
• If you set this card, it's susceptible to level 4 monsters with high attack since its defense is not that high.
• It can only destroy face down spell and traps. Your opponent can chain those cards if he/she can. Face-up cards are not destroyed.
• It returns to the hand during the End Phase of the turn this card is normal Summoned or flipped face-up.

• You can use Paradox Brothers' skill "Three-Star Demotion" to summon/set this card easily.
• It's best used by setting this card, so it can be used as a surprise when your opponent attacks into it. But this will not work against Pegasus players that use "Mind Scan" skill.

Fenghuang can be tribute set using only 1 monster. If your opponent doesn't have any monster, they will have to choose between attacking the lamb, or your set Fenghuang. Destroying the lamb will allow you to save your Fenghuang so you can activate it when you want, but if they attack your Fenghuang, then it will destroy their spell/trap cards that they set, which most opponents usually do.

This can be used to make your Fenghuang stay on the field. Your spirit monster will still stay even if this card is destroyed, only if the turn your spirit monster is supposed to return from its effect is stopped by Mirror once.

Mostly effective if you are using a Spirit deck, but this will increase all Spirit monsters' attack and defense to increase their survivability.

Can be activated in your graveyard to summon/set Fenghuang without a tribute. This is useful for when you want to destroy your opponent's spell/trap card right away.
