Heh, looks like fun.  I like the "raging titans" idea.

I will try it out in the trainer later today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I played the fully upped version of this deck on t-50.  And I had noticed something funny. 

Antimater sucks

I had a really good draw to start, 2 titans, 1 animate, and a few pillars/pends.  After some playing I started drawing my rage elixers.  Then it went terribly wrong as my 23/35 titan was transformed into a -23/35 titan.  There were no survivors.

I think that an emergency gravity pull (which would kill my titan, but stop antimaters) would be nice.

Very newly edited after almost its one month bithday! 
Before it was a fire/water/aether, but it pretty much sucked.

So I scrapped the water!  
(sorry steam machine, It was fun while it lasted)

It is now a much better deck and I like playing with it.  So please, give me some criticism or throw some helpful hints my way.

Quick question, what happens when a creature boosted by eclipse gets its attack lowered to 0, and then eclipse is destroyed?

(grey cards are FIRE PENDULUMS)

I am sorry that I don't have a spiffy deck name or anything.

 
This is something that I have been trying since pendulums were released.   It is flexible and features a lot of creature and permanent control.  I have been playing it in non-upgraded pvp and t-50.  Works well in t-50 except against fully upgraded speed rainbows and the like (lava golems and shriekers make me cry). PVP 1, however, is where I believe this deck belongs.  I haven't lost a random pvp encounter, but I am not sure if I have gone against high quality opponents.  I am going to try it out when the beginner's pvp league is back up again.

I personally like the way that fire and aether mesh together.  Deflags provide cheap permanent control while Lightning has cheap creature control. Lobotomizer, Fire shield, and ROF add a little specialized creature control (mutants, ROL/hope decks, Immortals). Dimensional shields are good to stall or keep yourself out of a sticky situation.  Finally the "muscle" of the deck are the immortal fire spirits (hmmm.... immortal spirt deck? bah, sounds corny).

A big drawback to this deck is the chance that you may have to wait to get monsters.  With fire spirits, the later that you draw them, the less effective they are.  So that pretty much sucks.

So tell me what you think?
