If one of your enemies is Protoss though it seems like the easiest counter would be to just go mass stalkers which would nullify the mass air for (your teams) Protoss. Terran would just mass up marines, etc. It seems really dependant on your opponent going for something other than staple units with the exception of Zerg who would have to tech to muta/corruptor.

It sounds fun though. Id be willing to try it

Honestly the protoss has some of the best units (mass colossi, archons, templar) and instead of capitalizing on that you force them to go down a terrible tech route. If you have a terran and you want air dominance then go vikings, they are cheaper and by far more cost effective and will barely cut into tank production. also tanks are only viable on some maps. A lot of the 3v3 maps have multiple attack routes which make mass tanks a liability, plus if your going mass phoenix then you wont have the ground support to cover yourselves when you push out. Your much better off going chargelot archon with a bunch of storms then feeding the zerg so they can mass some lings to eat damage and make a ton of broodlords to sit ontop of some tanks and the terran provides some tanks and vikings to maintain air superiority. The zealots provide good dps and act as great meatshields for the tanks and archons. the splash from tanks and storms will crush anything they throw at you. And if the game lasts long enough then you have broodlords and basically an untouchable composition. Mass phoenix get shat on by marines, 1 thor (lololololol wut u gunna do vs a thor with phoenix lolololol ez win), blink stalkers or any build that goes for a quick expo or two. (you wont have enough phoenix to be an issue and you wont have enough tanks to be scary until later on in the mid game so they are free to either push you early or macro up and roll you when you try to push out) dont forget the zerg can only do so much by themselves, and lings only go so far in a 3v3. Your also very vulnerable to DT's because your toss went stargate and your zerg isnt quick teching to lair.
