I ended up taking out one blessing and adding a dragon because the blessing is really more of a situational card that is really only needed every once in a while.  I do like keeping 6 rustlers in because you really want to get one right away and they are so easy to kill.  I have been using this deck to farm t50 and it i very effective.  It does decently well against the false god decks, gets through farm decks fast, but usually has no chance against the ray of light/ hope decks.

I have been playing this deck for a while and absolutely love it... the blessings became useless to me so i swapped them out for 2 deflagrations so that if someone pulls out a shield that is hurting me i can get rid of it... the only issue with this is that you have to have played at least 2 novas to have enough fire quanta but most of the time you do so it works very well...
i also love that this is a low key deck that surprises almost everyone i play...

Deflags are a good idea.  There is definitely some room to tweak however you like.  I actually play it with plate armors now usually instead of blessings as to not waste the light that could be better used to get more life.

Well, you can't upgrade the novas or the fireflies or it doesn't work.  Supernovas cost 2 entropy and upgraded fireflies produce fire instead of light.  I would upgrade the adrenaline to make it faster (costs one less  :life).  Then the rustlers to make them more stable.  You could also do this the other way around depending on what you were looking for in the deck (slightly faster or more stable).  If you wanted to you could upgrade the dragons to do more damage because you generally do end up with a lot of  :life one you get a few fireflies out but it will in some cases take an extra turn to get your first and possibly second dragon out.  One advantage though is you could use one less dragon and have an extra space for something else.  After that I would look at what you want the extra spaces (2 blessings used in my post) to be.  If you are using 1 or two deflags I would upgrade them early (probably first) because that lowers the cost to one and means you can generally play it right away and probably play two if you have them and draw them.  In an upgraded version I would recommend the new card long bow because with the mark of air you get 7 damage for 2 random quanta which is likely to be taken from quanta you were never going to use anyway.  Someone earlier mentioned using an upgraded reverse time.  There are a lot of different ways to go.  I may try to make an upgraded version and post it here.

Edit:  I decided not to post a semi-upgraded version because I think there are so many options its more of a personal preference and I think the paragraph above gives a good guide to build it more personally to your own liking.  I will say though after some testing that it probably won't be too viable against AI because the double health takes too long to get down and you run into some problems with the fragile creatures.  I was only winning about half the time.  Top 50 and PvP2 it could hold its own as well as most other rushes.

this deck is just silly fun! when the rustler doesn't come out it's dead in the water, but when it does, Whoa doggie!

the amped firefly DOES beg for a turbo white deck though. My what fun! Great job!

I hadn't actually thought of using a Longbow- till now I'd had a Druidic Staff in there and Morning Glory with a flying weapon- then an adrenaline could have been used on the flying Staff for extra healing- EM chance. Getting it in the right order can be difficult though.

I'll try out the longbow

yeah i went with the deflags and the deck is becoming very tough to stop in pvp when i get a reasonable draw... by good draw i mean at least 1 nova and rustler in my hand to start and getting a firefly quickly... the best draws i get are pretty often and it's two novas, 1 rustler, 1 adrenaline, and 1 firefly and the rest don't matter (dragons might be nice but i'm not that picky)

inspired by truddy02 telling me that upped fireflies make fire quantum i thought of a deck that makes use of this skill... (sorry but i couldn't figure out the import deck thing spent about 30 minutes trying...)

Air Mark
4 crimson Dragons
5 lava golems
3 pheonix
6 epinephrine
6 life pendulums (upgraded)
6 elite firefly

you play the life pendulums and then play the fireflies use epinephrine on the fireflies to make fire quantum and then use that to play the stronger fire cards...

also a nice addition to the original deck might be the new scorpions, unfortunately the adrenalined ones act strangely instead of giving 4 poison damage per turn, 1 for each attack, it gives 2 poison damage(one for every other attack for some unknown reason?), it still works nicely though and if you want you can add those too
