This will not work well against False Gods and it's not amazing for the Arena, but it can get the job done if you want it to I suppose. As far as upgrading though, it's mostly preference. I've always preferred upgrading my 'economy' sooner than later though, so I'd suggest something like this:

1. 6x Immolation -> Cremation
2. 4x Phoenix -> Minor Phoenix
3. 6x Pillar -> Tower
4. 5x Golem -> Destroyer
5. 1x Hammer -> Gavel
6. 2x Deflag -> Explosion
7. 4x Photon -> Ray of Light
8. 2x Seraph -> Seraph (I would probably use 2x Phoenix until I upgraded the Photons as a minimum before replacing them with Seraphim, preferably upgraded ones)

Ttvm for your reply, ~Napalm. ;)

Honestly, I'll try to progress a little bit more with this deck. I've seen a lot of decks, a lot of guides and strategies to farm till lvl 50 and farm FG, but I must admit it, its hard for me to think a little bit furder about decks, if they will help me a lot, or it will blow. Change is always hard, right? :p

These changes " feel"  better to me, but I realise that some would prefer your version.
I know that if you never get a seraph on the table, then all that light quanta will go to waste.
But I'd rather have one seraph stay on the table than only be able to grow one destroyer and have it controled.
Sure, a seraph could still be controlled that first turn, but that would have taken out that destroyer too.
I normally use this deck to fight in the arena or to PvP. I never really used it to fight FGs.

Anyway, I liked all versions of your deck in the past, even though I never commented before.
They inspired me to favor the fire element in most of my decks.



EDIT:
I only just realized that I might prefer your version if I replaced some (or all) pillars with pendulums, since that resolves the earth quanta problem and gives me less useless light quanta...

Been using this to farm Bronze very effectively.  Most games end under 60 secs.  Definitely still viable.

I am aware that it has been almost a year since anyone has even looked at this, but I wanted some closure with this. My last contributions to this thread were not with the zeal that I wished them to have, but rather out of bitterness of spirit. I have come to regret it and so I have revisited this once more. While this is no longer what it once was, I think it would be a shame to forget about this era entirely, so I tried to do it justice with yet another variation on the original deck.

The premise is the same and the goal remains unchanged. Over time, the method has evolved. I'm quite satisfied with the culmination of all the work that has been done on this type of deck. This remains my only real contribution to our little community and I would like to give it one more chance to shine. This link will take you to the original page that has the latest variation. It is really just a collection of all the previous versions into a single whole because the passage of time has made that possible.

~Napalm

P.S. I am aware that you could use Shards. I make no effort to hide my discontent with Shards and Bravery is no exception. If you feel I'm unjustly limiting this deck then by all means, use them. However, a Lava Rush does not need Shards. A Lava Rush in its simple elegance is better off without them. You'll see.

New edit looks beautiful, will give it a try.

P.S.
Is it just me, or is GoD have a misplaced destroyer?

It does and I'm not sure why. vE has it too. Perhaps I'll try to fix it again, just to be sure it wasn't me. ::)

With shards having dug themselves into the top of the hill, maybe we could take immorush in a different direction. Focus on consistency and robustness in speed maybe?
My 3 game-modification principles:
1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

As much as I want shards to be nerfed, I think OP cards are there to be used. Your deck is a fun way to not use shards.
You will notice I neglected to put explosions and a weapon.
I like RoF/QS/RT in my immorushes. (and wings)
They screw the other guy up :D.

...which they probably won't. Which is why I'm suggesting going in a different direction with this deck.

1.) Zanz has never removed a card, let alone rare.
Let the community protest have their rares turned into useless relics.
2.) There is financial incentive to make shards OP.

And besides. This doesn't have any Shards (never did). It's already pretty darn robust given how combo oriented it is. It's not an autopilot deck like most rushes though.
