Rationale

4cmc 4/3 flying phoenix with recursive death trigger: dies → create 0/1 Elemental token that sacrifices each upkeep to reanimate Rekindling Phoenix with haste. Premier evasive threat that recurs indefinitely as long as the token resolves. Signature in red aggro (evasive early clock), midrange (recurring threat), and reanimator (payoff for death-focused decks). Requires a body on the board to recur (if the token is removed before upkeep, the cycle breaks), making it vulnerable to targeted removal.
