Syrix is a 3/3 flier with haste. At the beginning of each end step, if a creature card left your graveyard that turn, a Phoenix you control deals damage equal to its power to any target. Whenever another Phoenix you control dies, you can cast Syrix from your graveyard. The deck runs Phoenixes that come back on their own, plus discard and reanimation to keep creature cards moving out of the yard, so the trigger goes off almost every turn.
In the recorded games, the deck played as an aggressive aerial deck that chipped at life totals with hasty fliers and end-step damage. Skyfire Phoenix and Everquill Phoenix were regular sights, and in one game Everquill Phoenix mutated onto Syrix to make a much bigger attacker. Recasting Syrix from the graveyard kept it on the board through removal. Opponents had to answer quickly or keep losing life each turn. Graveyard exile is the clear weak point, and with only seven games recorded, the deck's late game against big boards is less proven.
