this is the deck i was t3 farming with for about 100 games, before i first clicked on the forum and wiki links.

the main decision is whether to cast crimson dragons once possible, or to go firebolt, firebolt, firebolt, crimson drag, crimson drag(casting drags after the bolts). this method invalidates any type of regeneration, since it deals 100 or more in one or two turns.

simple things to know-
-4 firebolts + 80 mana is 100+ damage
-firebolt damage is ((firequanta/10) + 1) * 3 (you can see this from wiki too)
-you may want to take into consideration AI3 decks which use the green reflective shield, since you can't bolt them.
-sometimes you want to delay casting crimson drags and cast a few of them at a time to reduce their vulnerability
-you don't need the pendulums if you don't want them. just helps a tiny bit against earthquake.

btw, this is my first post in this forum ^^

Congrats for your first post and good luck...

I recommend you to use the code in the How to build a deck image thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1517.0.html), as to let us see your deck without having to open another window.

Even though, good deck I don't see any major problem in it, just the fact that you may need more pillars/pendulums, since your dragons are too quanta heavy... I strongly recommend you the Quanta Index Thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5676.84.html). If ou have the time to read it, it'll be of great help when deckbuilding.

You'll find here that many of what you will make may have been done before, but it's due to the amount of cards in the game, so don't feel shame if so happens

BTW, remember to go to the threads in black (the help or rules ones) before posting... It's far more important than what most people thinks

wowsers! thanks for the fast great help and comment!

that's some amazing stuff written by SG, the quantum index. i think this presence of firebolt and fahrenheit mess up that idea though, cause you really want to be stockpiling 40-70 mana with this deck but great read nonetheless. will use that QI stuff in my other decks

I like the deck, but crimson dragons will suck up your quanta before you manage to use those fire bolts. Unless they are meant for Creature control (in which case Rage potions are better) I would replace dragons for phoenixes or fire spirits. I would also add another fahrenheit if you want to make a stall bolt deck.
