Unupped pillarless speed bow needs help https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=28959.msg369752#msg369752

Well i recently made an unupped pillarless speed bow. I actually scored a 5 turn kill with it on its first go but my problem is the draws are not consistent enough to even maintain a 7 turn kill. So alot of times i will be doing 8 or 9 turn kills which i know it can do better then that.

It also ems occasionally due to nightmare.

Any suggestions appreciated

Immolation-based decks are known to be rather unstable, and running only 5 copies of Immolation and Photons further increases the risk of faildraws. Increasing the number of Immolations and Photons to 6 each will improve your consistency.

Since you're using Immolations, you'll want to take advantage of the extra :fire quanta you're producing with more Phoenixes (highly resistant to creature control, but has a higher casting cost; probably your best bet since AI3 carries a fair amount of creature control now) or Lava Golems (growable, but interferes with your Graboids a bit).

 Arsenic is probably the weapon of choice here, as your other options for using up :death quanta are mediocre at best. Nightmare interferes with your Lycanthrope in :darkness quanta usage, so its reliability in this deck is debatable.

Try to keep rainbow quanta usage 2 or under.
6 copies of each for immo-photon consistency as pika said
golems compete with graboids for earth, so take either golems or a graboid


Reccomended edits:
-1 lycan +2 chaos seeds/deflagrations OR +1 chaos seed/deflagration +1 lightning
-2 poisons +1 arsenic
-1 momentum -1 druidic staff -1 graboid
+1 photon +1 immolation +1 dragon/phoenix/fire spirit/golem
