'''Egyptian God Phoenix''' (or "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]'s" "Phoenix Mode") is one of three forms of "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" which the latter can transform itself into at the [[cost]] of 1000 [[Life Points]]. In this form, "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" cannot be removed from the field except by its own effect (a [[Divine-Beast]] is sent to the Graveyard at the end of the turn it is [[Special Summon]]ed, in the Anime).

The most well-known effect of "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]'s" Phoenix Mode is that any monster that battles with it will can attack & immediately be destroyed destroy one of your opponent's Monsters without even applying [[Damage calculation]] at the [[cost]] of 1000 [[Life Points]] (note: thanks to Ra's [[Instant Attack]] ability, this allows Phoenix to attack and destroy all the opponent's monsters). This effect was used by [[Yami Marik]] during his duels with [[Joey Wheeler]] (to destroy Joey's "[[Gilford the Lightning]]" in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 127|Ep.127]]) and [[Yugi Muto]] (to destroy Yugi's "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 139|Ep.139]] and again in a failed attempt to destroy his [[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 141|Ep.141]]). Marik also uses him to get Slifer and Obelisk so he can rule the world. However, he was defeated (due to the fact that his good side was in control and that he surrendered, therefore his dark self had no control in the matter.)
