So i wanted to do a steam machine/ fire duo, and it wasn't working at first, then i decided to have the steam machine as a secondary creature, and this is what i got.

the idea takes fahrenheit and phoenix decks and put them together. the steam machines are just extra muscle, the main damage is the un upped phoenixes (more affectionately called momma and poppa phoenix

). the phoenixes are perfect because lava golemn would need a third element and change the whole deck, and dragons call for more cost and can be destroyed easily. the phoenixes are fast, renewable damage. Here's the strategy:
-use novas as soon as you can (no way)
-if you can, play a minor phoenix before the brimstone eaters. same goes with cremation, use it on the minor phoenixes. the great thing with this deck, any creature except the machines can be cremated
-use a buckler and fahrenheit quickly too, those won't be the main target against most lvl 3 decks
-by now u will have a buttload of

... keep it going, use cremation even if you feel like you don't need it, it helps your weapon and it sets you up for the machines
-if you're lucky, by the end you'll have one machine with total power and you'll win in about 10 or less turns, my average was about 6
this is the breakdown on what i tested:
lvl 3: 10-1, 3 games with bad draws. the only one i lost was against the one that freezes and poisons
lvl 5: 2-1, lost against a discord one, where i didn't draw any 4 of the power hitters
t50 and fg's were not tested, i got bored lol
Weaknesses: freeze, poison, quantum control, lobo, dragons with high defense
Annoyances: reverse time, devour
Strength: fast, frequent attacks
this deck is made to be fun, and strong enough for decent fights, not to EM or slay Gods, so although it can be a slow deck if not played right, it is very strong and fun, give me some feed back and any suggestions
lol and I even created a brief family history for this deck

so the two un upped phoenixes are the mom and dad, with the minors being the kids. the eaters are the pets, which the kids manage to blow up frequently (cremations). the machines are the kids shiny brand new toys, even though one will never be used cause they only need one to have fun
