I'm pretty sure someone made this already.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Very, VERY useful against CC decks, particularly Oty decks. Avoid Permanent control though, you can't do anything vs one of those. (Also, poison decks = bad)

Strategy is pretty basic. use the fire bolts on the enemy when you think you should, use the Dim. Shields to stall the enemy enough to win, and it's a happy ending! ^_^

I posted the upped version, but the unupped works nearly as well. a full 5 wins out of 5 in both styles vs AI3, thought the unupped takes some more time.

If you're going to slowly up it, i suggest starting with the fire pillars, then farhenheit, then the fire bolts, aether pillars, and finish with Dim. Shields. This way you focus on your biggest bonus at once.

If anyone has any other suggestions to it, tell me.

This original deck idea was done with Mark of Light and upgraded Sundials, but after they got fixed, the deck was scrapped. Using Dim Shields works, but in a competitive arena, this most likely won't be able to stand up against a lot of decks. It'll get outstalled by stall decks, out rushed by rush decks, and it has no healing, so a bad hand will ruin you. Also, with two types of Towers (and your Mark being Fire), you may not be able to get a shield out soon enough, as many rush decks these days can win within five or six turns.

As an AI3 grinder, it might be fun, but it's slow, and there are plenty of decks out there that can do the same thing, but much faster. For Top 50, same thing. For PvP, either a Fire-rush or a Fire-Stall would probably be better. However, if you want to keep using :fire / :aether , then why not mess around with Ruby Dragons and Twin Universe?

My two cents.

Thank you very much. :D Will try it, though I'm not a vey big fan of Twin Universe. :) I also usually avoid decks with <40 cards, but that's my own style, and i just got this idea.
