She's a deck i've been toying with for a while now, she works well, counters a lot of traditional solutions people use vs. golem rush, and can beat down well if given minimal interference. As always, Golem rush < CC, but this deck can grow pretty fast, and, yeah, tell me what you think, ^^ Also, sideboard for it is  - Morning Glory's, - Fire Shields, and pulling all photon's and phoenix's for Shards (though I'm still toying with that and it's balance). Comments are welcomed, ^^

Hmm, I don't quite get the mirror shields and the photon's (I would leave them all out). You already have 10 creatures which you can use as cremation fodder (6 gemfinders and 4 minor phoenixes).

[WVM2]

@Twixy10, the reason is because it takes out a lot of opponents strategies in PvP, the gemfinders are there to provide a steady stream of quanta, your mark is fire, so your phoenix's for reviving don't take anything out of your Immolation, and so you can either use the photons or phoenix's for Immo bait, as well as the fact that they fly, which is EXTREMELY helpful vs. Wings, one of the main killers of rush decks, because though it's only 1 dmg, your golems have laid down enough hurt to make that damage a countdown timer for the opponent, and the phoenix's get past as well.

If you want to use it, be my guest. But 3 of those shields seems 1 to much as most of the threats which can be stopped with it are endgame threats. Furthermore, only 1 photon 2 turns or 2 photons 1 turn is enough to power those shields so i would do -1/2 photon's. As it is a fast rush you don't need all those gemfinders to be alive, and cremation also grants 1 earth.

i'd subtract some explosions, like 1 or 2.

- 1-2 mirrors
- 1-2 explosions

Why would you slow down a rush for minimal defense? For me, it's not worth it, the mirror shield and RoLs could be better replaces by a Tower Shield, 3 SoGs, a Congeal, and a Rewind.

Tower shield? First time I've heard that in a rush deck

really? well, it's first time I have heard that in any deck

Don't underestimate 2 damage reduction
Anyways, this is not the first time I've heard about adding defense to a rush deck, but I've always heard that it's not worth it (it's better to kill them before they can react). Attempting to stall only gives the opponent more time to defend against your fragile offensive.
However, if he DOES want to add some defense, tower is nothing to laugh at
