Steam Machine | Steam Machine

IMHO Steam Machine should stay because it fits better these elements theme, but if that's not enough I can only add that it wouldn't work as good in air.

Ok, air and fire do have a synergy because of unstable gas, but unstable gas decks are aiming to be fast, so they would work better with other air creatures for support. Air is not a very defensive element and it's only way of stalling is to kill creatures with eagle eye, shockwave, unstable gas/thunderstorm. The fog shield might help a bit with stalling but not enough. You might try to use fire for more creature control but you would still lose to anything with tough creatures (light, gravity, some earth decks etc.)
I guess in water Steam Machines would be much more useful because permafrost + congeal + squids + flood + trident (if you add earth) offer a better stall deck giving you time to pump Steam Machines.

But the machine itself is made of metal!  It clearly needs to be earth!

It also has golden parts and I'm sure it could only be constructed by a skilled clockmaker!
Therefore it is clearly a creature!

Steam is water vapor. Should water vapor be Water or Air?

Since everybody is arguing about this card's affinity, then it's Element is uncertain. It's obviously an Entropy card!

Steam Machine(upped and unupped) should cost Death not fire. Don't you think?

No, I don't think so. Would you mind elaborating as to why you think this?

     don't get together.

lolwut? Please use sentences that make sense...

This is the way I look at this card. It is a machine that holds water in it. So its element is 
Its ability adds fire to the machine, so the ability costs 
By that combination, it produces steam. So its name has Steam in it.
It isnt a steam creature, its a machine wit water in it, that produces steam when you add fire to heat it up.

So I really dont see a problem with the element of the card.

Neither do most of us. We were joking so please stop debating already.
