Solid rPVE, tested up untill ADV++ (6). All cards are below 200 bfp with many around 100 bfp. 

The core strategy of this is deck is centered around Fire Worm.

1. Activate Shrine of War

2. Move in your fire worms

3. Cast fire sphere and other spells

4. Finish the rest off with bloodthirst + attack and/or earthshaker

Road to T4:

T1: Summon 4 Strikers to activate their ability and erupt where neccesary. Use fire bombs to deal with flying units or expedite the destruction of enemies.

T2-T3: Fire force makes your Strikers very durable and should be enough to get you to T4 but Magma hurlers + unity are also solid backups.

T4: Build Shrine of Glory and delete units. Build 2 Shrine of War (I personally hotkey them to 2 & 3). After summoning 2-3 Fire worms and have 200 power in reserve for spells, you can move out and execute the core strategy.

Notes on Lost Souls:
- By far the toughest challenge will be the early game Vigils. Prepare 2-3 Blaster cannons and lure them to your base. Incase you secured T2, use Gladiatrix together with Strikers deal with Vigils (also usefull against Treefiends)
- Another challenge is posed by Lost Dragons. I can give all sorts of convoluted tricks but the best advice for beginners i can say is to lean onto your teammate and use Fire Sphere where possible. Incase that's not an option; use Ember Strikers to lead the front to absorb the silence. Just be lucky that the current MotM (50%+ XL boost) doesn't apply to Lost Souls for now 😛

Potential Upgrades:
Mines > Fire bombs
Inferno > Virtuoso
Batariel > Ember Striker
Fire Dancer > Fire Stalkers
Disenchant > Ravage
Anything > Banner of Glory

If anyone knows a budget solution to Lost Dragon (preferably below 200 bfp) that preserves the pure fire challenge then let me know!

-

Point of discussion: I did think about suggesting Comet Catchers but that's a lot of bound power together with Shrine of War and might overwhelm the intended beginner audience. Furthermore it doesn't cleanly one-shot a Lost Dragon.
