A new deck coming soon from Ellusionist. They sure pump these out fast! Theme -as far as the teaser shows- strongly resembles the Fathom deck (Fire instead of water of course).

Pictures via their Facebook:
The second picture also seems to tease the back design (behind the Fathom card). Borderless and very striking.. maybe a little too much. Though way too early to judge.

I'm surprised no one has made a thread until now. But yes, your theory is correct. To me, I'd say IT'S ABOUT TIME to make a new deck like this. And I just love Ellusionist's approach at how they're changing the whole element opposed to just a single color. I do believe that they'll stick with the Fathom name, just with another sub-name included.

To say the least, I'm uber excited about what Ellusionist is releasing next, and I can't wait to see more teasers. :))

I'm almost certain that it wont be called Fathom. Fathom is a unit of measurement that is almost always used in context with water.
'Heat' as Ellusionist calls the teaser pictures, is probably too bland and simple. I'm sure they'll eventually come up with some sophisticated word to represent the fire theme. Blaze, Inferno, Ember, Luminosity, Pyre, Flare, Radiate, Ferocity, Vehemence and Frenzy are my best guesses/only words in my vocabulary that i can associate with fire =p

Of your guesses, only Blaze, Inferno, Pyre, Flare and Radiate more directly connect to fire.  Luminosity applies to light more than fire, while Ferocity, Vehemence and Frenzy are more like animal or human traits/actions, all implying at least a minimal level of intelligence or instinct which fire lacks.  We use them occasionally to describe fires, especially destructive ones, because people will often anthropomorphize "the boogeyman" or anything they fear, particularly forces of nature.  Those terms could as easily be applied to a wild tiger or gorilla.

The thing I can definitely agree with is that this deck will not have the name "Fathom" on it.  Fathom has absolutely nothing to do with fire - it's usually either a measure of water depth or a synonym of "understand."  When Fathom was released, they stated that they'd be making a deck for each of the four elements.  After the "fire deck", we still have earth and wind to look forward to.  I'm already picturing the ad photos on the deck's page at E - who wants to bet they show cards on fire, actually burning?

Of course. The other words relate more to the explosiveness of light/energy, which is pretty close to a direct connection to heat/fire. I included them also as my guesses because the the term 'Fathom' isnt a direct synonym of water/ocean. Thus, this deck will also likely follow the indirect implication trend of representing the fire theme. This is simply my hypothesis and my guesses are close to useless.

Gotta love those pips. If they put as much effort into this deck's courts as they did fathom's courts, I'm definitely going to be picking a pack up.

As for the name, they could continue with the "measurement" theme, and call this deck Centigrade, or Fahrenheit, or whatnot.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I doubt it.  What would they use for earth and air?  Pounds?  Tons?  Kilos?  Cubic Centimeters?

You know somewhere on this site I think I posted my idea of doing this idea. Ellusionist beat me to the punch.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

Jiizzzzzzzzzzz in my pantssss

Hopefully the actual deck is this intense and not just because of 3258238523 filters.

By the way, the deck isnt officially called the 'Flame' deck. Ellusionist used that word in the same teaser format as the last 'heat' teaser.

It's coming out absolutely stunning, and I'm loving the shade of red they placed on it. Although there may be filters, I'm pretty sure the color will remain somewhat similar.

As for the name, I would love for it to be called Inferno, but I have a feeling that's a little bit too harsh.

Plus, BBM already made the "Karnival Inferno".

Love that spread. Those little swatches of lighter flame near the edge would make for an absolutely killer great fan.

I'd totally buy the "Cubic Centimeters deck".  ;D

Looks as if this is a deck box, with the name containing two words. Makes you take things into consideration.

Two words, I wouldn't be surprised if it was "Wild Fire".

It's hard to tell, but I'd say yours is the closest guess so far.

What actually happened is that Don called it, then ellusionist's more epic hype meter wire tapped don's comment then they called an emergency photoshoot and then lit the deck on fire. For some reason I feel like the flames and water from the last deck were more inspired by crappy six flags airbrush t-shirts when they should have been looking a ZZtop flames. just my opinion though.
