My first attempt at making (or using o_O) a deck with Immolation.

Been done before? Probably, but amazingly, my searches pulled up exactly 0 decks close enough to this deck to warrant posting in that thread (searched codes for Gemfinder, Elite Graboid, and Immolation).

Immolation produces quanta for Phoenix and Golems, while excess Earth quanta gets soaked up by Golems and Graboids. The SoBe/SoFo are funded mostly by the rainbow quanta from Immolation, making them essentially free, and SoBe makes the deck size equivalent to 22 cards.

3 Phoenixes to add both a bit of CC resistance, as well as to provide a secondary target for Immolation. If you can Immolate your Phoenix and play a card that turn, do it!

Entirely resistant to PC, fairly weak against strong mass CC, and fairly stable. The SoBe's ensure that once you get your first Immolation played, you almost always have more cards to play.

Biggest weakness is the combo based draw. Didn't draw a Gemfinder and an Immolation? Too bad, the deck isn't gonna get moving without those.

Average TTW 5-7.

Oh yeah, mainly intended for AI3 or PvP2, haven't tried it in Arena, but I don't expect it to do well above Bronze.

I feel like you don't have enough earth quanta.  Maybe take out 2 graboids?

You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

Hmm, I didn't see that o.o I kinda figured it was too simple to have not been made before, heh.

The version you linked is the closest one I've seen so far, and it's not quite the same.

I feel like you don't have enough earth quanta.  Maybe take out 2 graboids?

-2 Graboid, +1 Gavel, +1 Horned Frog. Turn out it runs smoother with less Graboids lol

I never really... noticed a lack of Earth quanta. Sure, once in a while you have to choose between a Graboid or growing a Golem, but for the most part, once you start emptying your hand, you can empty everything in your hand. Not sure what I'd put in the spot of 2 Graboids anyway.

Edit: Removed 1 Graboid, added 1 Gavel... will look into finding a suitable replacement for one more Graboid.

With all the SoFs flying orbiting around in gold, this might be a better rush against gold than some others. Haven't tried it yet, so I can't tell for sure.
My 3 game-modification principles:
1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

I've had poor results in Bronze with it, but I haven't even tried Gold. I'll play around a bit to see how it does, but I don't think it'll do particularly well honestly. I've been having fun with it, I've never used an Immorush before this, but emptying your hand by the second turn gives me a very nice feeling.

Edit: I suppose the second version of this is actually a trio, barely, so if a mod or something is feel particularly picky, feel free to move it.
