Wow! In a very large number of games, I've seen someone have a 1-Ace straight twice ever (same person both times), but both times it used the Phoenix.

No.

When using the Phoenix as a wild card, it must always take the value of another regular card from 2-A. Because there is no card with value "Ace + 1", there's no card there for the Phoenix to stand in for.

Only a bomb can go over any Ace high straight.
