That's twice where I came second in voting yet no-one posts in the deck thread or tells me how to improve it.
which card? I'll take a look and give my view(s) :)

Okay, I've been slowly but surely making my way through the threads and giving my commentary, now it's fire's turn.

The purpose of this is to give some of the people whose cards I didn't vote for an idea of why they didn't get the vote, and maybe how they could change things so they would get the vote (or explain how I misinterpreted the card).

The idea is to try to be helpful, not offensive. My apologies if I fail in that.

Lava Being: Really similar to lava golem. The bonus if you have an :earth mark feels arbitrary.

Berserker: UP. The ability really wouldn't come up all that often since it wouldn't be a high priority target, and the stats are low for how much it costs.

Fire Dancer: Certainly not a terrible idea, but it allows a :fire deck to effectively trump 90% of :water creature control, and although that's highly situational the fact that the stats aren't bad for the cost means including it in your deck when you didn't need it wouldn't really hurt.

Charcoal Stallion: It's really expensive for a creature that you must sacrifice to use it's ability, and the stats aren't great for the cost. I think you'd be better off with explosion.

Wildfire: It's already really easy to get a lot of :fire quanta really fast.

Cauterize: I think  :fire 's ability to deal lots of damage really fast would generally be more useful against healing/miracle decks. One question though: how does this work when your opponent is at less than full hp?
Might be exploitable versus FGs since it deals a % of max hp and :fire quanta is easy to get a lot of.

Spontaneous Combustion: Yes, fire is good at direct damage spells, but :fire already has a lot of direct damage spells. The "consume all quanta" mechanic is a bit overused in the suggestions at this point, and the cost of this spell is low enough you could still spam it even with the consume all quanta. A single conflagration provides enough quanta to cast the upped version again.

Flamethrower: Not sure how :air fits. After 2 turns do the enemy creatures get their hp back? It says "-2/-1 for 2 turns"
It also seems a bit like thunderstorm on a stick, that also damages your opponent and reduces the damage you take.

Flame Tempest: I think the creator is currently completely reworking this card, but the current version is completely underpowered. A five turn delay to deal 5 or 10 damage is really weak.

Fire Ward: I do really want more ways to avoid your opponent's permanent control in this game, but this  may need a few adjustments. It uses up the shield slot and is pretty expensive, and honestly right now :fire does not have much in the way of permanents to protect. Might be useful against earthquake/pillar control decks. Could also be good later on once there are more :fire permanents.
I think I'd like it more if it dealt less damage & wasn't indestructible, but was cheaper and didn't take up the shield slot.

Brazier: Really, really confusing. It seems like it's using up more quanta than it produces, and some of the types of quanta seem pretty arbitrary.

If you don't see your card here I either voted for it or I'm still making up my mind about it.

Did you vote for lava and if so I'd still like your opinion on it.

Yes I did actually, one of the main reasons was that I really think :fire needs permanents. Now that I properly understand the card, it balances well.

If you want me to go into more detail than that about a single card I should probably jump over to the page for lava, rather than the main fire page.

Feel free if you have the time, anything to improve the card would be welcome.

So flame tempest = underpowered U gas? or did I miss something?
My vote goes for spontaneous combustion (nice for a finishing attack) and Lava, i like flooding-like field effects
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!

Last I heard the author of flame tempest was midway through completely revamping the card. It is really underpowered as is.

I actually am. Pretty soon, I'll change it completely.
