Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys vs. Enemy Controller

Bottomless Trap Hole and Divine Wrath also stop the Special Summoning of it from the hand via Hand of Nephthys and via Sacred Phoneix of the Nephthys's own effect as well. Stops it dead. Here is a list of cards that I've found to be viable in stopping Phoenix.

Bottomless Trap Hole
Divine Wrath
Compulsory Evacuation Device

Those cards are extremely awesome against Sacred Phoenix. First off, Evac forces them to waste two more monsters, whether that be Hand of Nephthys with another monster, two actual monsters other than HoN, using Premature Burial or other revival-type cards can really waste it. Either way, Evac blows any viable tactic out the window as they sit their and cuss to themself in their mind. Even if they pack removal cards they still will chain the card to the effect from monsters and blow that Sacred Phoenix away. Card Destruction works nicely. Since Sacred Phoenix is limited, you don't really have to worry about it that much. If you really think about it, it's basically a freaking 2400 attacking Heavy Storm. That's about all it is. It's effect hurts you just as much as your opponent most of the time unless you have a lot of cards on the field. If you know your going against a Sacred Phoenix deck, don't Set so many Spell and Trap cards and the effect will seem less threatening.

What does Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys do?

The answer to this question can be found at www.netrep.com. Click on the Card Registry link at the top and type in Phoenix.

But for now:

"If this card is destroyed by a card effect, Special Summon this card during your next Standby Phase. If you Special Summon this card successfully in this way, destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field."

Enjoy!

Wow. I just read the full cards effect. This is so good. Its like an upgrade Lord of D. Sort of.

Yup, cause you're not limited to ONLY effects of your opponent.

You can use your own effects!

Like 'Assault on GHQ'!! (I LOVE this card!) I just have to build a deck around it now.

Have the 'Phoenix' on your side of the field during your Standby Phase with an 'Assault on GHQ' set from a previous turn. Activate 'Assault on GHQ', destroying the 'Phoenix'. Since you're still in the Standby Phase, the effect of the 'Phoenix' activates, returning it to the field and BAM!, there goes all the other Spell and Trap cards on the field!...whoop!

Of course, it's not as fun when the opponent chains a 'Seven Tools' or 'Divine Wrath' or something like that, then the whole effort is wasted..:(.

But it's fun to try anyway!
 
Crud, I just noticed something. The card text says NEXT Stanby Phase.

Noooooooooo...My plans of domination have just been foiled!!!

Oh well, dem's da breaks.

Whats the Assault on Hq do?
I'll give you the same answer as before. You can go to www.netrep.net and click on the Card Registry link at the top of the page. You can search for the card name GHQ. Click on the listed card and it will give you both the correct card text and any rulings on that card.

That's what the site is there for. Please use it.

Thanks.

Yea I know that's there. But loading the site is so slow. I'd rather just ask.

Lol..that's completely understandable.

Didn't you just download RONIN? If you did, now you have all that info at your fingertips!
