ok, this is quite a ballsy deck i'm showcasing today. my friends, behold, the colaboration of fire and ice combo'd up (with a pitch of earth in the mix why not). since it goes for golems, it will need earth, and steam machine calls for fire. quite fair. i added in an ice shield for some stall performances and 2 arctic squid for more stall. now if i have earth and water, why not a trident in this, its a slowing card, not as good as eternity his for creature, but better than pulverizer against pillars and towers and it does steady damage. at first i wanted to put farenheit for additional "fire power" (oh the pun!) but the steam machines are too demanding for the thing to work approprietly. welp, here's the deck as it is right now. i don't know if it can be improved somehow to be FG grindable, but so far, its AI3 worthy. aany and all comments are appreciated

Generally, if it takes more two or three sentences to explain the concept of a deck, your deck is too bulky.  Thats what's going on here.  You're doing too many things at one time, and your many strategies will interfere with one another and slow you down.  This might work if you had it all upped and brought it down to around 32 cards, but as it is now it just seems too big.

    Interesting take on the steam golem idea. Still, if you're going up against AI3, a lot of defense is unnecessary. Also, trying to grow Golems and use Trident on an Earth mark and two pends won't be enough. You're better off running a couple of gavels for higher damage. Why no rage potions?

    In general, I think that steam golem is a rush deck, and adding defense will just slow it down. I wouldn't mind seeing any mods you come up with, though.
