What about Thorn Carapace? IMO, that's the worst crowd control you can go up against.

I was under the impression that the Elite Queen is there for primarily for its Fire Quanta generation, not damage.

It's there for both actually.

I think it's:

I'm not exactly sure why and are paired though.

do you think its possible to work in a steam machine too this deck?

Too slow too expensive. The water quanta is needed for the Permafrost Shield. Steam Machine's also start at 0 damage. So it takes a few turns of growing before they are able to compete with and eventually overtake a Lava Destroyer.

I've never gotten a Pulverizer from a T50.  I have 6+ of all other weapons though definetly get a Pulverizer.

Same here. So far I've been farming and today I earned 5 Discords, 2 Tridents, but no Pulverizers.

It's not much of a speed rainbow, since you have a few stall cards in there. Speed Rainbows are usually around 30 cards to minimize the chance of bad draws.

Yes, yes, or any other card thats in deck.

I have become convinced that Nume has never played this deck. He is a troll.

I don't see how he's a troll; he's just trying to prove his point on how Miracle isn't really needed in the deck.

I actually agree with him. Most initial FG rushes that are fast enough to kill you take a very little amount of time to execute. When that happens you will most likely have not drawn a Miracle. Even if you've drawn a Miracle, you probably won't have the 12 to play it. By the time you've actually drawn a Miracle and have the 12 , you should already have out the Permafrost, Antimatter, and Shard combo out.

Precogs... interesting... I'll have to give that a try...

They are always helpful in my opinion, since knowing what a FG has in his hand is always helpful.  For instance, if I am going for a Firefly spam against Eternal Phoenix, I want to know if he has have one of his two Firestorms in his hand so I can bait them out early.

The perk of the Hourglasses is that its targetted by permanent control before anything else. So they are destroyed before your permafrost, shards, and pulvy, which makes me feel a bit safer.

On the other hand, Precognition helps a lot too.

Water / Re: Toadfish / Puffer Fish

This card may get a buff, look at the trainer:

Pufferfish 5/4 -> 6/4
Toadfish  2/4 -> 3/5

I think it's because of the new scorpion cards. Pufferfish is weak compared to them.

Creatures are the fastest way to win. If you look at this popular deck (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,3807.0.html) you'll see that it actually has 0 creatures, but it still wins in PVP.
