The deck is for taking advantage of the synergy between Rustler and Immolation/Nova. One Immolation = three Life quanta if you have a Rustler. It adds up pretty fast- I've had streaks of five turn games.

...But also streaks of fifteen turn games. I don't think I'm quite hitting the optimal balance. I know Immolation rushes are inherently volatile (no pun intended) but this one feels especially unreliable, and especially unable to recover from a bad starting hand.

Help?

This looks much better upped, with rays of lights instead of photons.

-3 Dragons, +3 Adrenaline
-3 Lava Golem, +3 Phoenix

Don't worry about the instability; this deck requires a 2-card combo to get out its main attacker, and 1-2 more to play a hard-hitting dragon. (As an added bonus, Rustler dies to just about every CC in the game.) In other words, it can't really be 'fixed' without losing the essence of the deck - and that's what we love it for in the first place.

Adrenaline was a really good idea. When you bring a Lava Golem in by Immolation you have exactly 1 Earth Quanta which allows you to take your Golem to 7 damage, a magic number where Adrenaline does 8 damage. But I think you knew that, having suggested it. :p

Would have been even better with Phoenixes, but that damn Immolation nerf just came in.
