Know your flux

Turn 1: 10 flux. 
Turn 2: 13 flux. 
Turn 3: 16 flux.

Heres a small mathematical example of why knowing your flux count is important.

Turn 3: 16 flux
       - 7 flux Grove
       - 1 flux Tenderfoot Archer or Valedune Arborist
       - 3 flux Bamboo Watch Tower
       - 5 flux Vapor Mahal
       = 0 flux left

This way your planning to do as much as possible with your early flux. In this case adding Valedune Arborist let me do this combo safer, and since it was more often safer I was able to do it much more often.

Here is the flux tree and a list of cards I use in this example. You may not think to notice this at first but the cards on the list are entirely commons. :) Please feel free to use these, and if you do I hope you enjoy the deck as much as I have.

CARDS this example is using:
Grove---------------(7 flux)
Vapor Mahal---------(5 flux)
Tenderfoot Archer---(1 flux)
Valedune Arborist---(1 flux)
Cloudburst----------(1 flux)
Thistle Falcon------(2 flux)
Flame Ent-----------(3 flux)
Bamboo Watch Tower--(3 flux)
