NonY did a great game yesterday showing how to counter this in the HDH invitational. Continually chrono'ing two stargates with phoenix. Then he made a push with tons of zealots, some sentry / stalker and a colossi, nearly breaking the zerg's natural, because his phoenix > muta, and his ground army was superior to the 7 spinecrwalers and the lings. After that his phoenix had free reign and he took out queens, overlords and drones and it was basically GG.

The counter is what i thought a while back while playing protoss, but it looked too hard to do so i didn't think too much about it. How wrong i was. Phoenixes in guardian shield = bye bye mutas. Out of guardian shield the Phoenixes are good for defense, but won't get rid of mutas right away. The shield works with air units. Ah yeah forgot to say my league, platinum on eu server.
