FIRE Grinder Revamp suggestions

[bripod]

I've had this little deck for a few weeks and it rips thru AI2, AI3 & Bronze but I've been playing Silver non-stop for days now with a solid 50%+ win (which has been quite profitable) and I think I can do better if I upgrade/rework/tweek things a little. I have ideas but wanted to see what the community thought before I went plunkin' down some cash to create something new... Any thoughts and ideas are most welcomed!

I wanna loose 3/4 Quanta Generators and add maybe some Minor Phoenix? I also am looking at Fire Lances, Explosions,Dragons but can't decide... that's why I'm here... teach me something!

Deck doesn't look bad, maybe drop a dragon and a lance in place of minor phoenixes, that might do well.
Also, not that it really matters, but no one farms ai2

Looks like your basic mono-fire. Pretty good. Fire's only weakness is a lack of healing... and that's what SoG is for.
Now, do as you do in Tower defense;

Specialization!

So, now. You can either rush (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11593.0.html) or stall (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6515.0.html). I like stalls more than any rush, so that's what I'm going to put.

-4 dragons (who needs creatures?)
+3 fire storm (CC.)
+5 SoG (Fire+Healing=Win, plus, this gives you lots more EMs)
+3 Fire Buckler (In any good firestall, the buckler is very important)
+3 rage pot (More CC.)
(Disclaimer- Changes may not work as intended. Especially with unupped versions of cards, if you don't have them.)
Edit:Put in links to actual examples put by experienced members of the community.

LOL... Well I did do a brief study about farming cards in AI2 but holy crap did that get booooring... That's why I'm up in Silver for the moment. I love the game but there's tons I still have to learn about it. I'd like to be able to understand the finer points of synergies between cards and such.
I play a lot of posted decks in the trainer to get a better feel for things other than my fire deck. I do have an Up'd RoL/Hope Deck that I throw at the FG's one or two nights out of the week... always a fun time.
When I play this deck I often get a huge Quanta build-up but that has saved my ass nore than once... 2 Fire Lances with 120 Quanta sounds good thru turned up speakers...  8) but with the diversity of Arena Level decks you have to be a bit grittier at times I think... So, I'm thinking about modifying this one a little...

I have a mostly unupped (except for SoG) Firestall (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29654.0.html) I'm working with, except that I'm really really bored with it now. It did relatively well in the arena, though because my pillars are all unupped I couldn't stuff in enough CC/PC for it to be effective against some decks. Also, spammed PC kills it.
Just an idea of what you could go for, albeit you would probably make an upped version.

Aves, yeah I've thought about going to a stall. I have played a Fire Stall a while back...

I guess I kinda go tired of the longer games, dunno... I'll give your suggestions a try in the trainer for sure! I always enjoy playing a new deck and learning how it works torether... you should have seen me fumbling with some of the decks you guys come up with... lol, but I have learned a little...

My version of fire stall which i like more    The miracle has really pulled me through a couple of times.

Omega, this looks pretty wicked... Def gonna hit the trainer with this one! Thanks for the input!

[bripod]

Omega, I liked your suggestion very much. I was able to throw together the following:

Went 50%+ against Silver (which isn't bad) but the thing is that most of the wins were EM's! Talk about profit...  Thanks!

I'm still looking at ideas to reconfigure my orig posted deck. Maybe I'll figure something out this weekend...

*edit: I've since swapped out one of the Pends for a Tower in the Stall deck.  (8-Towers 6-Pends)
