I like this!

It begs the question "why not Steam Machines?", but as a rare use of Fire Spirit (which are, let's be honest, not the strongest card in the game) I like it.

It feels a bit quanta starved though. Personally I swapped both Farenheits for Longswords. 6 ATK off-the-bat, and low low cost :)

It begs the question "why not Steam Machines?"

I tested it with Steam Machines, but they cannot be that consistent inside this deck like the Fire Spirits.
The reasoning also for no Steam Machines is that they lose attack periodically, also with the part that their ability at 2 :fire *6 or *5 per turn is a lot of quanta(12 :fire or 10 :fire) and this deck cannot produce that much.

It feels a bit quanta starved though. Personally I swapped both Farenheits for Longswords. 6 ATK off-the-bat, and low low cost :)

I also felt the quanta starve. Another reason to have Fire Spirits: They're cheap. And you're right about the Fahrenheits, better to not waste too much  :fire.

lose the short swords, they don't do much for you, replace with squids or small creatures like ash eaters or crysaora, or even photon

Although I kind of suggested it, I agree the Short Swords don't cut it. If you had Long Swords I'd sing a different tune though ;) Weapons work well with SoP as it continues poking your enemy while you're building up for a big hit.

Also I think you could use 1 less SoP — since the deck doesn't need them straight away so you could still do if you wait a few turns for one. The extra spot could defo be another Freeze.

Squids would also go well, if you have them, but they would strain the quanta. Shields would probably have to go for them (but I think that would be an improvement).

Nice deck, balanced on the overgrowth of spirits, but may be weak against death and darkness.

Solid deck although I would suggest you put a ice bolt or two just for when you get down to the end where you have enough  :water to end it if you have to to get the win. Overall still a good deck
