Turns out it supports dd images, so no need to mess with Phoenix or actually run dd in linux. FWIW, I was using Rufus on Windows 10 with my laptop's built-in SD card slot.
I first validated the cards using the tester recommended on the wiki (H2testw), then imaged them with Rufus. Validation and imaging took a very long time, probably because I have a crappy SD writer, but as a result pine64 boots into Android as quickly as my phone.
Thanks for the post psmacmur
However, just so as to not confuse ppl: Phoenix card cannot be used to burn dd images in case someone misreads psmacmur
