Now, this deck has been working unbelieveably well.
I have won countless matches with it, and I'm very pleased with its power and flexibility.
But I still want to know if theres anything I can do to make it better.
Just so you know, I dont want to turn into a pillarless deck, nor any kind of speed fire deck.

I didn't try it but I will.

So far it looks perfect to me except for one thing: Fahrenheit.

Judging from the cremation/firecrit balance this deck rarely exceeds the 10 fire-quantum, so the whole point of Fahrenheit is defeated. In return you run the risk of getting it stolen from someone who actually has 20+ fire-quants and will start kicking your butt.
Why not use a Longsword or another phoenix right away?

The reason why Fahrenheit is in there is pretty simple really; I have a soft spot for it.
It's my favorite weapon in the entire game and I just can't let go of it.
And I usually PA it right away so it never got stolen.
But I guess you could use another card like another Phoenix or w/e you'd like.

Have you tried putting in Rage Potions? You already have the Heavy Armors and a Heavy Armor/Rage Potion combo on a Lava Destroyer gives you a 13/1 creature.

The reason why I didn't put rage potions in the deck was because of several reasons;
The rage potions would cause an dramatic useage of fire quantum, which this deck just isn't capable of producing.
And secondly, the Lava Destroyers fragile as they are, would only be more Vulnerable if I remove the enitre effect that heavy armor gives them.

They are multi-purpose. You can also use them as creature control or hold them back a few turns to let the Golem grow a bit, depending on the deck you are facing.

- 1 Fahrenheit
- 1 PA
+2 Rage Elixir


I tried that against Top-50, don't have the upgraded cards to put it together in the real game. I didn't run into Fire quanta issues in the games I played, except when I drew all four Golems in a row, but that's just bad draws. Plus I still won that game.

Just tried it in trainer. This deck is awful.

First, it's REALLY slow and inconsistent.
You can't draw many  :earth pillar at your starting hand.
And if you don't draw phoenix, which is just 3/30, you are dead.
with no phoenix for cremation, it seems that i have to discard one card or two for every game.

A simple quantum-denial (devourer) can kill this deck.
A simple creature control (bolts) can kill this deck.

I wonder how to "win countless matches" with this deck ???
