Its a little old, and with baneshift banned I have not run or messed with it. Basically its starts as a standard fire amp, but its got a couple tricks up its sleeve, masochism on either firemaw for a really cool combo, or on nightmare since it can heal its self up to full next turn. Eye for an eye comboed with baneshift is very rude, firemaw and spell slingers are optimal targets. Without the eye for an eye kit you can include some of the more meta fire runes, or another spell or two. But its a good start, and I am fond of it. https://poxbase.com/deck/C4=CdBC6-cwICd6CbC99C3MS7as3BS71S4@S2lS7dS61rAr20
I just put it together, but this should be a pretty solid ember/borg nuke deck centered around firestorm/flamenova. You could drop some of the fire amp guys in favor of other flame novas guys, but this should be a good start. https://poxbase.com/deck/C4=CqwCdBC6-C8dcwICbC99C5uS4@S2lS7dS8XS2zs61rAr20 Again make sure redsand still works with ember, im not sure if it does. If it doesent can be replaced with second volcanic burst, and grimlic.
As good of spell as ambush is, i dont like it in fireeater or emberwasp decks since it cant damage allies. I would take firemaw over max any day, and pretty much the whole deck should be fire eater based so pauldron is kind of a waste. Caldron can be good, but I prefer fading recolection to deal with immunity, demonlich (another auto) gives you some alt damage as well. Runner is good, but if you want a high mobility unit with a fire aoe, spell kaiser is your man.
https://poxbase.com/deck/CqwCdBC6-C8dC29cwIc6+c60CbC99S4@S2lS7dsDs8@S2zrAr20e24 thought I might try something like this out. seems like the champs average nora is a bit expensive for me though so I dunno.
Looks like your off to a pretty good start. And yea all the amps got alot more expensive last patch, fiend/devouerer used to be pretty cheap.
This is my Revere Akakios UD/SL fire acid amp deck. https://poxbase.com/deck/C4=cwzCdBciKCdOCbCwlC9yCgNS6LS7FSjSAs2zR3e2DE2K
Since skull is mythical I would probably only run 1, and fireblast is the staple fire spell. Other then that looks pretty good. I run ambush in most non fire decks, since it cant damage your allies with eater, relics, and it is font restricted fire blast really wins out in actual fire decks.
Also fire immune deck will be hard on you, need to fit either fading recolection, more acid, or maybe caldron. Id drop a skull for one of those. Or change line up a bit so you have more acid on champs. Mmm or a second heart.
Can I get some insight on my own deck? https://poxbase.com/deck/C4=cjBCdBC6-C8dc29cz-cwIckuCbC99s4@s2lsAS2zS61r3qrAr20e24E2K The main three champs I'm tinkering with are Fire Elemental, Flowing Ember, and Ash Maiden. I don't know if I should keep them or change them out for something else. Perhaps some spell reqorkings, too.
Elemental is ok for his cost, the other two are real bad, since your running wap/borg engine need those aoe champs I recommend nefari siphon in there place.
