I love strange decks.  This one's been a blast in testing and tweaking, and the deck concept for me just seems completely insane...insane enough to work!

Yep, Mitosis Steam Machines.  I've tried several other deck builds including ones with SoR, but I feel like this one is the most consistent and fun to play. 
Steam Machines remind me of walruses for some reason:  they're big, strong, and take a while to get pissed off to the point where they seriously hurt you.  From a glance you should be able to see that this deck has no :fire production outside of Cremation.  This means you need to be very careful with how you use that :fire.  For instance, if you use your Steam Machine's abilities early on and then the opponent plays a Dim Shield with no Explosion handy, you're going to end up wasting 3 charges on your Steam Machine(s).  In saying that, it's usually best to try and have a clear shot at winning before going berserk with Cremations.  Feral Bonds form synergy with Mitosis and give you fantastic stalling power.  Permafrosts also give you extra stalling power if you need it.  The set up enables the deck to be a stallbuster, but it has difficulty dealing with rushes  Unlike my usual strange yet fun deck ideas, I feel that this deck has more potential and could be used for different purposes outside of typical boredom.  Try it, if you dare~

How's your life quanta doing? From the looks of it 3 ferals and 4 mitosis is too much for 5 pends.

Extra copies are mainly for draw chance; the Steam Machines are typically too expensive for you to be able to quickly play and then use 2 Mitosis in the early game.  So if you assume that you're only going to be playing 1-2 Mitosis during the game then the QI for :life is right about where it needs to be.  Otherwise you're right, it doesn't generate enough, but I find that the remainder of the Mitosis aren't needed until mid-late game.

Getting outrushed by the Gravity elder was a serious low point, but I still managed to have some fun.  :P

You've tried SoRs, and you've tried cremations, but have you tried splitting cremation with SoRs? :P

Well, I used a combination of Cremation and SoR at some point in testing.  The problem with doing that is that it's much more beneficial to use SoR on a normal Steam Machine than  on a Mitosis'd Steam Machine, so it's like Mitosis is a complete waste of space.

Also:  Bonestorm that screenshot is awesome.
