Pyretic Rebirth kills a creature and replaces it with three 1/1 tokens — three triggers for Syrix, Carrier of the Flame off a single card. The cost is sorcery speed and token quality: you're trading a body for 1/1s, which matters if you needed that creature to stay.

Syrix, Carrier of the Flame
Syrix, Carrier of the Flame pings for 2 whenever a Phoenix dies, and Pyretic Rebirth guarantees a death trigger then floods the board with Phoenix fodder to sacrifice again — one spell that feeds the engine twice before the turn ends.

Pyretic Rebirth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it only earns a slot in Commander. In Legacy and Vintage, sorcery-speed creature removal that doesn't actually answer threats cleanly is far below rate. In Modern it competes against flexible, instant-speed options that don't cost you the creature. Commander is where the token generation justifies the slot — specifically in sacrifice or death-trigger shells where three bodies off one card is a meaningful resource multiplier.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Pyretic Rebirth is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a box rather than buy. That price is stable; a card with this narrow a home doesn't spike.
