Deckbuilding Conditions:
1. Use only :time / :fire cards.
2. Immolation | Cremation must be used.
3. Deja Vu should be avoided if a Rush is being built.

Strategy:
Pretty straightfoward - get out Pharoahs as quickly and possible and try to overrun the opponent with a Horde of Scarabs mid-to-late game. Rage Potion serves as an Attack booster for Pharoahs/Scarabs, while Immolation is used on an early Deja Vu to fuel the later :fire cards and Devour.

Other Cards to Add/Swap:
Minor Phoenix - This deck's QI on Fire is pretty low - running MP on the :fire mark instead of using Deja Vus provides more offensive power and (possibly) more chances for immolation.
Graviton Fire Eater - If you can integrate a source of :gravity into this deck, could be useful for using excess :fire .
SoBravery - Possible replacement of Hourglass for Drawpower.

Here's an unupped variant by Rutarete that you can try as well (the single upped pharoah can be replaced by an unupped one):

Sidenote : Since you guys probably aren't bound by any self-imposed challenge, feel free to take and mod this deck as you like. Only the first deck was made in mind with the rules above. Be creative though and try not to post something that was probably already done 100 times, though.

For Rut's, I'd think it'd be better if it was a Grav Mark with 2 more Factories.  Or one Factory and an Immo.  Gravity will only be used mid~late game once Scarabs have grown big enough to use.  And by then you should have excess...

The first suggestion I have just tried, and it works. Feel free to try more changes if you like. However, I am satisfied with the immolation balance.
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Quote from: That's would've worked if I said:
1. Only use cards from the following elements : :fire :time .
Quote from: Otherwise, nope.
1. Use only :time / :fire cards.
But as fur said, you could just replace SoFr with random Fire cards and it would still work. I was mainly going for a decent combo that doesn't get mentioned a lot (namely Rage Pot + Pharoah).

If you guys want to post your own versions of decks that follow the challenge but not the RagePharoah combo feel free to do so.

There's not any "true" synergy between the elements of fire and time. There isn't a time eating fire spirit or any card that clearly bridges them together. Zblader's is quite unique, using rage pot with pharaoh and scarabs, but that's far from being super competitive. The only way I can really think of making a competitive deck with these two elements is to use a splash.
