Phoenix is a key component early game. Gets Thrawn (and EP), to get R2, to get CLS, required in LS Hoth TB, great for early game arena climbing (I even saw one in the top 50 of my shard when EP/Vader got their rework and contended in the Rock Paper Scissors meta with Bastilla and JTR leads), as well as GW purposes until you can sim it. That’s all not even including their ships, Ghost and Phantom II, which are a strong part of the HMF meta (for now). Phoenix is awesome.
