Depends on your deck, really. Purifying fire can be used to clean up your hand effectively. Note that it can't be discarded by the flare attack. There are also multiple ways to "poison" opponent's hand with card like Cleansing. Last, but not least are the direct discard cards like Intrigue or Ambush.

If you want to discuss a strategy how to deal with Phoenix, you are free to open a card specific thread in the cards section of the forum.

Also note the following:

- when summoning via Phoenix feather you have time to prepare (he doesn't have enough Burning cards for rebirth)
- Rebirth is always processed before the Flare attack, so you just need to keep either his Burning cards low, or his resources low (Phoenix isn't cheap), or just discard the Phoenix (it costs you resources, but your opponent has already spend resources and time)

Yes, but you can summon 2 Phoenixes if you have 2 Phoenix feathers at the same time. Combine it with Wildfire gem and Meditation - and volia, you just oned your opponent.
I always thought that uncommon banishers should discard Rebirth cards too. It's the same Durable, but more beneficial and more specific.

Everything is possible. I was able to play the situation you described 1 or 2 times so far. I also drew witcher after first round and won on second.
The probability of such wins is very low, but when it happens everyone says it's op and that, I think, is a bit exaggerated.

What the fuck happend to Master thief??

Master thief - base stock steal lowered to 0 from 3

You can read the entire change log in the modified cards section. And please consider using the F-bombs less if possible on these forums.

I just wonder about the change on death before dishonor. It was such a nice card in combination with heresy and was one of the few card specific cards. I would just like to know the reason for this change.

All in all i like the changes, babarians were buffed, brigands nefed and some nice changes were made (eg. dark templar or crystal golem)

Death before dishonor was had very specific use and it was hard to balance.
