No more ifs, no bias, no ambiguity
No wondering whether this is it
Clarity so brightly wrong
The image so painfully absolute

Being a newb and so, I have to state this is my first deck, and although it's not perfect, it has a lot of time, effort and luv ♥  invested onto it.

So before you go in a typing rampage saying "Asy, are you nuts? where are the shields/bucklers, it should have two fahrenheits, more dragons....." let me be my deck's lawyer for a couple of sentences, lol.
I consider a deck to be efficient when it focus in one simple task, rather than trying to cover all the holes at once. Learnt it from magic TG, where deck combinations were endless back in 2004... and now endless+1.

Volatilize, as its name suggests and quantity of cards makes obvious, is thought to be a fast deck. Its quanta sources are fine-tuned after a lot of trial-error rounds, i'm not saying "trust me i've a statistician degree", just "it worked for me and I thought i'd share it"
It works great in top50 if you understand how this works, and in AI3...well, let's say I rarely take a look at my HP counter. PVP's are also enjoyable with this deck.

What are the shards doing there?
I figured out that the fire shield wasn't working for me against critters, so i've included two of these, to save more time and keep gathering quanta for the final hit. And be sincere guys, arenĀ“t these a bit demoralizing when played? Your human foes will make a desperate move trying to deal damage, and those are the moments you should take advantage of. *insert evil laugh here*

How it works
Keep your eaters down for some turns, cremate if you have two and leave one annoying your foe with tiny damage noises. Explode artifacts, (if swords: at once/if shields: right before surprising them with a dragon-threesome)
If you see the creature thing is not working out, discard dragons, cremate eaters and hit with lances. Fahrenheit is not the main piece of this puzzle, so I only left one to fasten the whole deck.
Also watch out for lack of enemy pillars, if you have an explode at hand in the first turns, use it wisely. These tiny "steps forward" shall lead you to victory  :)
And most importantly, have at hand the FIRE ELEMENT DAMAGE TABLE (http://elementsthegame.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Element_damage). I don't know who wrote it, but it saved my ~~~ uncountable times. Thank you, anon. Srsly.

Strategy
(soon, under construction)


Special thanks to jmizzle7 and its deckbuilding for dummies (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1190.0.html) thing. I started with his fire deck and ended with this other. Thanks a lot!! You'll have karma as soon as I figure out how
Side note: English is not my native language, so expect... incongruent and awkward expressions  XD

So, tell me my friend, what can you see? What comes into your mind as you breathe?
'cause I see colors flourishing like you'd never believe... like a pendulum swings, they swing with me!

Love the Special Effects... I think SoG's would work better than SoD's though.

SoG's get stolen, exploded, or Pulverized. SoD's give you instant "healing". It's a tossup, but SoDs work just fine.

I love your graphic effects (especially the hidden "LOL"). Interesting deck. Are your dwagunz supposed to be unupped?

Thanks a lot :b and yes, crimson's are cheaper to play and have one extra HP that are a blessing against poisoning or firewalls.
And you're right, anything can happen to SOG's.
