Another Phoenix rush deck https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=5506.msg55677#msg55677

Well, first of all, hello everyone =D

I'm currently using this deck to grind AI 3 since I think it's a very fast and reliable deck, any help improving it?

i would remove all 4 asheaters and replace them with
2 photons and
2 burning pillars. (or 1 and a vampire stiletto)

but i would replace phoenixes with lava golems, 2 extra phoenixes, 1 less deflagration and 2 rage potions instead of the rain of fires, change mark to earth and your done with your speed golem deck :)

Nah.  Speed Golems can be fun, but Phoenixes (Phoenices?) have the advantage of being repeatedly Immolatable, meaning a good draw can net you 30+ Fire quanta by Turn 3 or 4.  My advice is to replace the Ash Eaters with 1 Photon and 2 Crimson Dragons, so you have something sweet to do when you DO get that phat early quanta.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

I agree. If this is supposed to be a phoenix-deck, then: Leave in the phoenixes. ;-)

Since, this deck is never going to achieve elemental mastery, you may even try and take Essences suggestion all the way to 100% offense:

Also take out the Rain of Fire cards (or at least 2 of them) and replace them with something, that is large, heavy and has an odem of fire.

However, quantum generation must be monitored very carefully now:

As it is now, the deck is very balanced, since Immolation -> 7 quants -> Phoenix
So the whole latter part of the deck is so to say self-sustained.
Taking out a total of 7 cards (eaters + RoF) and putting in dragons only will simply lead to a quantum-shortage, because those measly 4 pillars are not going to pay for it.

So how about: -7, +1 RoL, +3 pillars, +3 dragons ... ?
