This was inspired by an earlier post that was running in duo/trio decks http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5769.0.html
Thank you to lune69 for the idea
EDIT: Update: Current deck, based on feedback. It is significantly better. Still looking for others to play test and give feedback.
EDIT2: Current variety (7/28/10). I decided to take another look at this deck. I was able to make it much more consistent, yet less fun. Of course, you could argue that winning more often is more fun.

Sounds good to bump up fahreinheit!
I think you should throw in some explosions, a fire shield or thorn carapace could really screw you up :P

Maybe -1 tower, -1 fire buckler, +2 explosion
Edit: After some more testing, I think having the third fire buckler is important.
You may actually want to take out 2 towers for 2 explosions and count on the mulligan. You will still have a pretty good chance of getting a tower first turn.

It won't kill you to go over thirty cards, you know. Just add in two explosions.I usually am not too picky about going over 30 cards. The problem here is that you need 2 supernovas to get out the epinephrine and quint. Every extra card lowers that probability.

I might add in flying weapon...Seconded. Replace a quint with a flying weapon, and you can double your farenheights.
Love that you can adrenaline enemies to kill them faster.

Thats a good point, although I don't know where I could fit them in. It would also be nice to get rid of phase shields. I could probably drop one tower and count on the mulligan, but I would like to have at least 2 explosions if I was putting them in.Actually, are the Towers entirely necessary? I haven't played the deck (But it looks fun, and I'll definitely make it when I have the cards) but it would appear to me that the Supernovas could give you the 2 :entropy to start it off, and then let you play the Brimstone Eaters which can easily fuel the rest of your :fire cards. Ofc, you'd be faced with the problem of having to draw them both to actually get anything done, which actually makes me think that they are good. Also, you can get them fairly easily due to auto-mulligan.
Maybe -1 tower, -1 fire buckler, +2 explosion
It could work.

Why are you using fire bucklers instead of say improved fog? If your opponent had enough damage output his creatures would kill you even if some of them died along the way. You could actually put in one improved antimatter since you're using :entropy mark.I really like where you are going with this. Antimatter is such a great card. Of course, with antimatter in, fire shield has to come out. I do not approve of taking out 1 protect artifact, as I do not believe it is effective to have 1 of any card in a deck.
Recommended modifications: -3 fire buckler, -1 protect artifact, +2 improved fog, +2 improved antimatter, -1 quint, +1 flying weapon
Maybe -3 fire buckler -1 tower, +2 fog, +2 antimatter

Also, you can get them fairly easily due to auto-mulligan.I actually started this deck pillarless, but the problem was you always had to discard 1 or 2 cards. I am now working on a variation with 6 novas and 3 or 4 cremations. Mark likely will still be entropy, as I like the antimatter idea. It looks to be working pretty well.
In general, I really like where this deck is going. Thank you to everyone for the great feedback. Check back to the main post soon for an upgraded version

Im not crapping my pants. This deck sucked, even with 100 of each quanta. Bad deck, bud.I'm sorry you didn't like it. It sounds like you got some bad draws. On another note, given the Fahrenheit, the deck would be amazing with 100 of each quanta. ;)
Perhaps you were playing against false gods. The deck is meant for PvP.

Actually, are the Towers entirely necessary?Obviously. Even with that few towers, you can get mana starvation easily. Just one black hole, a fire storm and quicksand/steals ruin this deck before it gathers enough quanta.
Totally unimpressive against anything that is not focused on pure damage.
And slower than most rush decks.

On the other hand, this is still my favorite deck when it works. It just doesn't work right 50% of the time.
