Alright, check it out. the best starting hand in theory is pheonix, 3 cremations, 1 fodder, 2 ruby dragons and a gavel (mark of earth)
cremate fodder for 9
, bring out pheonix, cremate him twice, thats 25
and then 2 rubies and a gavel. 36 damage on the first turn. That is the most damage to be dealt (which is why i used rubies and not crimsons, don't dance around the subject please)
What new opening hands does this burning flash open up exactly? what about adding earthly flashes for those golems? it sounds like i can have a 24 card deck (maybe even 18 if combined with precog).
Do you see what im saying? Making a deck that efficient and fast could possibly create a deck that is just up in a whole new tier. all the decks would be speedbows and cremation rushes other wise they could essentially be beaten before the 4th turn
