Its a very fun deck to play and can definitely win but is really slow and not very consistent, also it has two big weakness Vayne and Edea with Jihl Nabaat being a possible issue as well

You do have a lot of big forwards, but if Vayne becomes a problem, you can still burn him with summons and/or backups. Even then, your other forwards should still be able to hold their own.
Most of your cards are pretty expensive to play. I'd imagine that you'll need to discard a lot to play a lot of cards if you don't have the backups setup, so you should be wary of mill decks and try to play fast. I'd also suggest a card buffer like Belias. If that can save your high cost forward, then it'll be worth it. It's also free to play with the draw 1 card effect.
Also, Sephiroth seems out of place. You already have a lot of big, expensive forwards. Sephiroth might become a dead card in your hand if you already have big forwards out on the field. You're also already running three Light Clouds, so another Light/Dark card in your deck amakes it even more likely that it'll become a dead card in your hand. He's just too expensive to play anyway and he doesn't get the +1000 buff from Lebreau.
Bahamut Fury isn't my favorite just because you need to discard to get the 7k damage. Your deck doesn't need any more discarding effects with how much you'll be paying for your Forwards. If you still want a burning Summon, I'd suggest an Ifrit, either the 4k or 6k damage one. Combining even the 4k Ifrit with Irvine is usually more than enough to kill a forward. It's also a better CP resource in the long run with dropping Irvine as a backup, compared to Bahamut Fury that would make you lose two cards (possibly three if you have no backups) to only do 7k damage. You can always not discard and just do 5k, but then you're just better off with the 2 drop 6k Ifrit.
Other than that, looks like a fun deck to play. I haven't played with Mono Fire but it looks like fun. Let us know how it goes.

Ive only played a few times its really a bully deck im not playing light cloud thats the starter cloud which cost is reduced for each ff7 forward im playing alot of ff7 so its pretty easy to get cloud in for 3 and sometimes even 2 cp Rubicante becomes a 4cp later on and amarant I like to use to break xande when time is right to kill their big forwards vayne isnt that big of an issue but I hate edea which is why I added sephiroth also he is ff7 which makes cloud cheaper It can easily backfire but a first turn Auron can generate your fire backups getting you exspensive backups for free 2nd turn with Auron being a 9k they either block and die or I get a free backup and an early lead I made my noted changes but I personally like Fury over ifrit I dont use the 7k often 5k mixxed with cannoneer or black mage is usually enough I like the 7k just incase I dont have brynhildr to remove problematic 7k like Laguna or Gilgamesh

Ah my bad with Cloud. Didn't realize it was the starter version. Sephiroth makes more sense now. Lol I didn't even read what Auron does until now. That card is really good early game and can help you manage your CP resources. If you don't get it early though, then you might still have a problem with CP management with expensive cards. Auron would most likely become a discardable card mid to late game depending on your backups. I looked up my old Mono Fire deck to build it and help my friend get some practice in. It is a bit of a gamble with Auron, which I wouldn't want to rely on. My deck is balanced with CP costs. I didn't even want to run 4 drop Sephiroths, but I needed a backup breaker. The worst matchup against a Mono Fire deck is a Water/Wind deck running Aerith L, Minwu, and 4 drop The Emperor. I actually just played against someone with that recently. If someone were to have all three on the field (which my opponent did at the time), my only option would be to use Bahamut on The Emperor and then be able to use Sephiroth to break Aerith L and Minwu. |

Minwu isnt that big of a deal in my deck ive found since most of my forwards are a base 9k which is pretty strong in its self you add Selphie lebreah and starter cloud thats a 13k attack if needed they would have to use strong defenders like prishe or Gabranth to utilize minwu The Emperor always sucks but isnt as bad as I thought it would be as a 11k attacker assuming you have lebreah and cloud out will usually kill or deal damage Really its just Vayne which just slows me down a turn but edea just kills my defense outright which is why Sephiroth is an absolute must I might use x3 promo eventually but haven't gotten yet its at the bottom of a very large list only card I really think ill take out is garland as Id rather have a different 5cost if I had to choose I might replace with the new 4 cost Garland or even 2 cost tifa for her dull ability and make Zangan more practical in my deck

I edited my deck and made few minor changes it plays alot better now and is still alot of fun. And Im starting to think that a first turn Auron isnt as bad as I thought even if they have an answer they they still waste alot of resources dealing with it if they leviathan it they only have 4 cards left to play and I start my next turn with 5 cards if they kill him with Alexander they still only have 4 cards to play and I start my next turn with 4 cards so it just evens the board out. way I look at it is we just started game over they go 1st and we both get 4 cards
