***TRIALS RESPONSE***A classic, the Lava Golem rush. However, your first deck is too bulky and your second deck definitely has too many pends. What I propose is this: A mix of the two, taking the best of both the decks and merging them into one. The most common Immolation Golem deck is GoD, which is short for Gems of Destruction. This is the deck in its current form:

Immolating the normal phoenixes works as well, but it usually will not come to that. It features a fahrenheit over a gavel or a long sword or another elemental weapon for its stronger ability to rack up damage with the available fire quanta from your pillars/pends/mark. Instead of all minor phoenixes, it uses regular phoenixes as well for damage, as while they aren't as durable as they had once been, they are still one of the most durable creatures out their for their effectiveness. To prevent nasty shields or weapons from getting in the way (Dim shield, an early Owl's Eye), it has two explosions. Sometimes, you may have to choose to not cremate a Gnome Rider to get the earth quanta this deck sometimes lacks, if you're facing a more stally deck and need more stable offense.
