Seen some similar versions posted in the past.  Thought I'd share mine since I like it the most.  Win almost every game in T50 and PVP2.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dk 7dk 7dk 7dk 7dk 7dk 7dn 7dn 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 8pq


I often play with the following variations:
-2 fahrenheit -1 burning tower
-2 fahrenheit - 1 sundial
-2 fahrenheit - 1 burning tower - 1 sundial + 1 shard of gratitude

Most important thing is to maximize how long you can stall for.  This is knowing when to play sundial and. just as importantly, when not to play sundial.  It might even be in your favor to use 1-2 fire lance to wipe out an early creature, but usually that's not necessary.  Takes a bit of experience to learn how to play the deck properly.

It's important to know the precise mechanics of the fire lance.  It's 3 times the amount of quantum you have divided by 10, rounded up.  So if you have 63 quantum, then your fire lance will deal 7x3 = 21 damage.  It counts how  much quantum you have before you pay fire lance's casting cost.  So if you have 60 quantum before you play the card, you will still deal 21 damage.

Another important mention is that sometimes you will need to drop a sundial to avoid death the next turn, but you won't have to drop a second one the turn after since you gained enough life from shards of gratitude to no longer be dangerously low on health.  However more often than not, you will need to drop several sundials in a row.

It's a good idea not to play shards of gratitude until after you've taken damage.  Otherwise the opponent might steal/destroy it without you having gained any life whatsoever from it.

Hope you enjoy.

Tried it and it was good....though not the best deck for a mono fire. There are faster and more damaging fire decks out there....A reflective Shield would murder you  :life :light

Of course, but that's the bane of all fire lance decks. But in the T50 i have yet to see a Jade Shield or Mirror Shield.

Good to see you back, Uzra! Long time no see! Done with classes now, eh? XD

Anyways, I like the deck, but after the Sundial nerf, it's just not as good of a deck anymore. I made a similar mono-Fire stall deck that doesn't use any Sundials, is 40 cards, has no drawing, and surprisingly, can destroy most decks it comes up against.

The old Fire Lance/Sundial deck just isn't what it used to be, sad to say, and with the increasing number of SoG, neither is Speed Poison... :'(
