This is my attempt at a Steam Machine rush.

The deck takes advantage of Steam Machine's huge health to boost its attack with Rage Elixir.

Convert 3 of each Tower to 6 Pendulums?

There are no Water Towers.

What would be the point of these sorts of decks? No permanent control, no way to alter how the opponent is playing. You can only lose. If it isn't the fastest rush, then don't bother.

[Xenocidius]

Well, if you want to modify it it does have room for PC (Explosion) or CC (Congeal).

Plus, although it may not be the fastest against 100 HP opponents, it could be against 200 HP opponents.

This has been tried before, Its alright, if you get the right draw you can get some nice damage out fairly fast, yet other rushes are faster, if your looking for a fun deck this is it, but and effective uber pvp never lose deck, i doubt it. Ai 3 is prolly as far as you can go, retaining a w/l record.

-2 steam machines -4 pends +3 towers +3 dragons/crawlers?

important:
steam machines are not a good rush card.
if i use them i prefer then in a semi rush and this'd be better as that.
add control like squids, 1/2 shield cause you don't have to setup fast.
1 steam is already enough and just make sure to dominate the field!

Ah, Steam Rushes.

In my opinion, 6 steams are always too much, no matter what. Removing one or two might help you, because you'd need less quanta to roll, and you might add some permanent control (Read: Deflagration).
As nils said before, you could even fit some squids if you manage to fix the quanta balance. Since the deck seems very heavy on both fire and water, I might guess that Congeal might be better for keeping enough quanta. (I still love you Octopus). Also, no shield?
I know both Fire Shield and Permafrost are expensive, but they're still worth it. I don't have time to test the deck myself, but I might guess this is around 8,5 ttw, far slower than other rushes, so I remark the need of further CC.

I built a variant from this deck using some of my suggestions and a Longsword, because Longswords are cool. (and they can deal quite some additional damage.)
