Benjoewoo – 2/5
This card is pretty hard to fit unless Phx get a deck that will consistently be able to deny multiple rings with it. If that deck is competitively viable, this card goes up. Otherwise, and likely, it’ll probably stay this low rating.
 
Kingsley – 3/5
I'm going to go against the grain here and say this is much better than many think. Yes, it can be conditional, and you don't want to just play it out recklessly, but in the right situation this can be amazing.
 
Grendel – 2/5
More cute then good, some interesting synergy with multiple elements being added to a ring but that’s more of a dream then a reality right now.
 
I Fight Dragons – 3/5
Perhaps one of the most binary cards in terms of opinions of its worth. I have no doubt that Way of the Phoenix does not stack up to the other Way ofs, sans Unicorn. Way of the Phoenix is a pure utility card that completely shuts off a ring from your opponent, and that effect is merely okay but doesn’t really help you win the game directly. That said, there are a lot of keeper roles right now and this card is fantastic when it’s denying a ring and a couple of Keeper Initiates entering play. The multiple ring FAQ answer also means that Way of the Phoenix can potentially be very powerful in a combo deck one day. 
 
nyxnyxnyx - 2/5
The way this is worded, you can use any of the ‘add element’ effects like Seeker of Knowledge or the upcoming Isawa Kaede to stack multiple elements on one ring before choosing to Way of the Phoenix it, effectively denying multiple rings from being declared by your opponent that turn. Still more of a cute combo, than anything, however. Can net you some fate going late into the game when there are rings with fate on them.

Excellent card. Very useful in all my games. Fear to dishonor? Negate fire! Fear to discard? Negate void! Fear to honor loss? Negate air! The list continues... and thats only one of the benefits of the card. Core in Phoenix like all Way of...
