Top 50 Speed (17-3), 19 games in 8 Moves of Less https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=8103.msg91347#msg91347

Hello.  This is my first deck that wasn't just a slight variation off of an existing deck.  While it certainly gets a lot of influence from other golem rush deck, I believe my heavy use of earth based creatures is novel.  I've only begun testing, but with very auspicious beginning - please note these trials are with my live account and not in the trainer.

(http://helltgivre.free.fr/elements/?mark=4sm&deck=6rlz274az2779z677ez377gz27dmz67dpz47dqz47ds)

Results
17 - 3 (Only 1 deck faced was a farm, maybe 2 if you count the SOD divinity deck as one)

5 Turn Win: 1 Time
6 Turn Win: 8 Times
7 Turn Win: 5 Times
8 Turn Win: 2 Times
17 Turn Win: 1 Time
Losses: 3 Times (5,6,7 Turns)

The decks I had most trouble with were other speed decks - there is no creature removal.  I thought I would have trouble with ROL/Hope, but I went 3-0 against these decks.  Rainbow decks were also crushed - although this may have been luck.  The outlier match was against a deck of Shards of Divinity and Miracles - by the time I took him down, he had 200 HP and had miracled 4 times - took me 3 turns after his last miracle.  I was a bit worried I would deck out.

Hm... first of all, wrong section. It should be in Duo/Trio decks. But don't worry, it'll get moved ;)

Let's see... I like it. I've tried an Immolation deck with Gemfinders, too, and I find it a little slow. This seems to be the case here, too, as you usually lose to other speed decks.

To make it faster, I'd swap the Phoenixes for Ray of Lights. They cost nothing and can thus be played on the first turn, leading to a faster start, more early :earth quanta, and alive Gemfinders.

You also seem to have a lot of :fire on your hands. Usually, this deck is run with 6 Golems. To fix this problem, you can replace 1 or even 2 of the Explosions with Golems.

Otherwise, looks great. I love your Momentums, Graboids, and Antlions - haven't thought of those before. Keep it up! :D

It's designed to be anti Top 50 and all recorded matched were such.  Is this the wrong place?

Also - the explosions are for shields, lobos, maybe shards.  They slow it down, but increase the win rate I think - does it make sense to ditch them?

i kind of agree with this why is there anti fg (i know its since there most important)but none for the others. when i decide what i want to fight and i have to search through the decks since i cant deck build very well i find my self wasting time not important enough but i think its fair it can be posted here
