This deck i find very effective for newbies like myself to use :). Surprisingly it has actually beaten a fair number of people over PvP, not sure if it's luck or not but my odds were pretty good.
It is also very effective against lvl 1-3 AIs :), the only way it lost was cause of a bad hand or bad draws...

This can usually finish off lvl 3 AIs fast! so you can use it to farm them. It is also very fun on online if your hand doesn't suck.
If you play against people with more than one element deck, try to destroy some towers early game, this will prove very useful later on, especially against rainbow- like decks. They can't summon anything dangerous if they have no Elements :P.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

total count= 35 cards, cost for making? around 350 depending on your luck with the slot machine :P.



As you can see, most of the cards are actually from the original deck. Taking advice from wiki, i took out all non fire base cards( that by itself can allow you to beat AIs 1-2), then added some to improve it.
The only time i lose to lvl 3 AIs is if i made a mistake or my hand just sucked...

So far i see no problems with it, and if you get lucky, you can defeat someone with couple of upgraded cards in PvP.

It's wining percentage against lvl 3 AIs is around 90%
Online: if you don't face anyone with upgrades, it should be pretty high as well.


How to use
The way i use it is to either beat the enemy really fast, or stall for time to make use of high fire count and damaging fireballs or fahren if you get a chance to use it.

Basic method, gather lots of fire! Try to accumulate as much fire as possible for fire ball & fahren or a dragon can determine a win or lose.

If you're wondering how to upgrade lava golem, there's some immolation for it. I suggest using the ash eaters or fire spirit if it's necessary.
I don't believe i should add anymore golems due to fire deck's weakness of low hp.

I also added two more dragons cause the original seemed to be lacking fire power, and with two more dragons, it can destroy opponents fast.

Any advice is welcome :),

Try this:
12 land
6 ash eater
4 dragons
4 bolts
3 deflags
1 dagger (optional)

Its simply a race to victory. If youre going to loose there is no card for a comeback. Nonetheless the win percentage in level 3 and pvp is pretty high. Boring pretty fast though.
The spirits slow your dragon production, the golem uses earth for pumping. The fahrenheit I dont like. The immolations are IMO bad.
If you have too much mana put another dragon in.

I tried this, but i seem to lose more with this one and it's only a little bit faster. Without fire rain, there's no crowd control.
Also, it has a higher chance of receiving bad cards, or is it just that i'm unlucky?...I also find that recieving too many dragons in early game can really kill you when you have so little Fire...

I can't make a specialize deck yet cause well, those are expensive to make.
This one only had 2 extra dragon, and a lava golem and the fahren you get after you complete the quest. Well i think that's all the difference from the one you get in beginning.


I have follow some advices and reduced fire spirit to one

I will try to make some adjustments to see if i can lower the amount, not getting the card i want does effect some matches.

New deck:
1 dagger
12 burning pillars
4 ash eaters
3 crimson dragons
1 fire spirit
4 fire bolt
3 deflags
1 fahren
2 rain of fire
3 immolation
1 lava golem

still 35 cards. However, reducing the fire spirit & fireshield for bolt & deflag seems to be rather helpful.

That deck is not good at anything particular. Make a specialized deck.

Make your deck 30 cards.

Unless you have a way of drawing multiple cards, you should always do this.

Not necessarily. Some 40 card decks work pretty damn well without draw excel, mostly because they can stall. However, she's right about getting it down to thirty cards. Mono-Fire should really never be more than thirty cards, because of how fast it is when it's that small.
Show me.

Allow me to revoke my statement and replace it with "...work decently well..."
