Its ability to return to the owner's hand instead of dying provides resilience against removal spells, allowing the player to continuously pressure the opponent. While there may be other cards with similar effects, Firestorm Phoenix's combination of flying and recurring ability make it a solid choice for decks looking to maintain a threatening board presence. Overall, it could see play in decks that prioritize aggression and resilience.
