The rest of the LS should be upped too, that´s just what I´ve been working with.
I also thought about Dark & Entropy Pendulums and additional 2 miracle, but that should perform better, even thought it´s a more elegant deck

EDIT:
Performs not too bad against Octane (-sundials + mirror shields), Obliterator (-all light cards & mark change) and Miracle too.

so, burnone...

I just tried out your deck against Hermes.  And the logic of the reflection shield (for fire lance) is solid, and the antimatters and Liquid shadows make sense.

But how does one damage hermes to WIN said duel against him?

He had his lava golems out, and pumped, and I AM'd them...and I liquid shadows his other creatures. 

So I got all healed up for a bit

But then his farenheight obliterated me.

It's a fast, neat deck, and I can see it has potential, but it definitely needs some adjustment before you can said it could have ANY sort of success against any of the FG's you listed.

Thanks for posting the deck suggestion, but fair warning to anyone ELSE who tries it - you'll need to make adjustments if you expect to actually win your challenge against Hermes.

When you play LS on an antimattered creature, it heals you and hurts them.  So play them both on a large Destroyer and it will do the work for you.

Heh yeah he probably shouldve mentioned that when he posted the deck, but its a pretty well known strat so he probably didnt think about it. But yeah AM+ liquid shadow on his destroyers is huge, because it heals you, hurts him, and stops him from growing them back to positive. Dont use it on a low hp one though bc it adds a 1 poison.

[Avenger]

The antimatter deck is weak against firebolts. The single reflection shield will never arrive on time.

[Nume]

It is true that he can kill you with multiple fire bolts in one turn, however I have found he often uses them right away and you have time to heal between them until you can get the shield.

[kobisjeruk]

burnone's deck failed miserably when i tested it because hermes rush potential far exceed any other FG's
there are 20 growing creatures in total, combined with rage elixirs and fahrenheit, you're looking at...not enough AM+LS combo to negate or even kill the FG before they kill you

[$$$man]

In theory this deck should be able to beat hermes.

[Krahhl]

How does that work? It's not fast enough to outrush him, and there isn't any healing or way to stop damage (I guess technically fire buckler removes damage by killing creatures, but you still take too much).

[teffy]

What´s the idea of the deck ? I don´t understand it. What´s Fractal and Cremation for ?

[kobisjeruk]

In theory

the thing about theory is just that...

and no, its not should...more like a could
IF
he didnt draw any destroyer/plated armor/spectre/dragon/lance/explosion AT ALL
if he drew brimstone eaters 20 turns in a row, then maybe you can kill him with your suggested deck

fire buckler does nothing against growthed golems
3 turns to kill unarmed spectre (2+4+6=12 damage done)
9 turns to kill armed spectre (2+...+18=90 damage done)
2 turns to kill unarmed dragon (30 damage done)
.
.
.
etc

try to at least test your idea beforehand to see what work and what wouldnt
