I've played different variations on the Life rush decks.  My favourite is the water mark version because even though it is slower, I can splash in cheap water cards like Freeze or Purify as needed.  Cockatrice and Heal are also good low cost cards for this decktype, though not quite as good as Horned Frog because of the way Adrenaline works.  I don't really like using dragons cause they're so expensive they throw off my mana curve.

You can see the Adrenaline attack chart table here .

For grinding AI3's, I would go with something like this one, maybe less one Adrenaline.

I figured I'd reply to this thread instead of making a whole new topic. [sorry if I shouldn't have]

I'm playing a variant of the life rush with water / forest spirits, and I had a couple of questions.

1.  I like the idea of Forest Spirits instead of Cockatrices because for 2 + 1 I can have a 3 attack creature than can be used with adrenaline to full effect if I'm short on frogs, but if I have enough frogs I can just keep upgrading one to around 7/7 or 9/9 before the end of the game. 

Is that a good idea, or should I use cockatrices because then I don't have to use water quanta at all?

2.  If I do keep the Forest spirits, what's the better way to fuel their growth, a Water Mark or maybe swapping 2 Life pillars for Water ones?

Thanks.
