Vreely's No Upgrade Fire Rush T50 Killer [fire/light]

For all who is interested, I used a slight variation of this awesome deck and upgraded 14 of the cards in it. Then, I did the Top50 Farming Challenge, and the results are in the link above.

I'm proud to announce that this deck is, by far, the most effective T50 deck to have entered the challenge and the most effective T50 deck I have come across so far.

  you can say that again vreely you make a good deck that kicks t50

Yeah, that would be a very sound touch. I myself fought in the Tourney today with a variant of this deck, and my second (or was it 1st?) opponent had a Fractal+RoL+Hope deck. Good thing I was able to rush him fast enough, but a Fire Shield would have helped immensely, if not replacing the Dragon with a Fire Storm.

I agree.  With 1.21 and the Hope shield, its better to take out the Rage Potion and put in a Fire Shield.

If i add a shard to this deck would it still work the same?

[icybraker]

Sort of, but you don't really need to. Despite the fact that shards are very powerful cards, they do not have a place in this deck. This deck is meant for one thing - damage, damage, damage. A shard in this deck, to paraphrase the words of Scaredgirl, is one more card in this deck that does not kill your opponent - which is what this deck is all about.

The deck has been decently effective for me in grinding T50s, but Bone Walls and early elite Oty's really shut this deck down and almost every T50 rainbow deck runs those cards.

I'm new to Elements, but I have a ton of experience with a similar card game, and I strongly feel there should be some redundancy of the Photon.  The ratio of 6:6 sacrifice target:sacrifice mechanic is going to give you dead cards often, and a 0 photon draw is an auto-scoop.  I can't see any reason not to add 1-2 sparks.  Worst case scenario, it's 3 damage for 0 mana.

Also, I'm confused as to why you have any number of dragons before the the 6th lava golem.  "Photon Go", turn 2 nothing, turn 3 dragon is terrible.  In fact, I would advocate Phoenix over Dragon, for a couple of reasons: 1) It comes out first turn off Immolation.  2) You don't auto-scoop when you get Rain of Fire'd.  3) It hurts the effectiveness of their 1:1 removal spells (or otys/owls), 4) you can make tricky investment plays where you burn cycle a spare  immolate in your hand on your phoenix to lay out the otherwise uncastable 5cc+ guys in your hand.  Even on the first turn this can happen: Photon, Immolate Photon into Phoenix, Immolate Phoenix into Lava Golem, next turn use leftover mana from first turn to awake Phoenix, attack for 14, all with zero land and merely one 0cc guy.

Also, f--k the weapon slot.

4 Burning Pillar, 4 Deflagration, 6 Immolation, 6 Lava Golem, 2 Phoenix, 6 Photon, 2 Spark

Works really great except otyughs chew me up bad... 

Edit: Added 2 firebolt to take care of that (also great any time since you have so much fire quanta).

[finkel]

I'm playing a variant of this. For quanta I use 5 novas, 6 immolations, and 6 photons. For damage I have 5 lava golems and 2 of all the other elements except light (I'm playing around with using two holy lights for EM against decks that deal damage on the last turn or two).

Would this deck work if I swap the Hammer for a Vampire Stiletto?
As it only uses 1 ...

Yes.  I've been using the deck that way since I started, and it works much better.

[Anothebrother]

Would this work just as well?
