(I might not have enough postpoints to make a deck picture, sorry. You will have to deal with the code.)

I use this.
I prefer the SoR possibilities of scarab, dejavu or neurotoxin over the air ones. I can get through the shields pretty well with immortal and SoW anyway. Added bonus is extra draws from precogs, SoRs to use things if you're forced to throw non immortal golem out and SoB for extra draws and more damage to the golem.
I find weapons useless in this, because the point is to get a massive golem out as soon as possible. Everything which doesn't accomplish this will be removed.
This is pretty much draw reliant deck though, sometimes you can win in 3 turns with 25attack golem with dejavu, sometimes everything goes against you and you need 4 turns to even draw your first nova/soi.

Very different from mine, I use Fire mark solely for more drawing power, making the chances to get enough earth quanta for deja vu 0. Weapons are really good in this deck, speeds up the deck a lot, and since I have the better drawing power getting a big golem+Sword down is pretty nice.
When you have a big golem, what's the point in 2-3 scarabs or neurotoxin on opponent? SoFr can actually give you critical, which is a nice boost in damage(That's how I managed to get those 3 ttws)

To be honest, all shard golem rushes are derivatives of the ultimate. Either they have a 6/6/6/6/6 build or a build that allows for 2 filler cards. While SoR is nice, SoFre is better than SoR because it allows fireflies (more damage) and PC as well as criticals.

It's a simple and obvious strategy, just that using SoBra and a complex way of playing makes this better.

Also: Please keep this on topic, I don't like to see 1 millions Shard Golem decks posted and then speaking about them.

calindu: I just don't want to see some other decks that are different in thread and then discussion on it

I must sound like a derp because of that typo. Getting 3 SoR is still difficult. While SoR can make it faster, the unreliability doesn't make up for much. Even if it grants 3-4 TTWs, the reliability of SoFre will make the average TTW lower in the end.

On topic: I've used SoBe in other shard golem decks as well as sometimes tried a fire mark. The only thing that your deck seems to stand out to me amongst those others is that you have only 4 SoI, and splashed in 2 longswords. That and you have actual stats for your deck. Also, due to how SoBe works, I think this is only very powerful as an AI3 killer (Very good one). In PvP, SoBe helps out your opponent too much.
