Official card text

Flying When this creature dies, you may exile it and collect evidence 4. If you do, return this card to the battlefield tapped. (To collect evidence 4, exile cards with total mana value 4 or greater from your graveyard.)

How it works : Lamplight Phoenix

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't exile Lamplight Phoenix from your graveyard to pay the collect evidence cost of its triggered ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
