Help with rush deck

[Yatoihei]

My deck is poison rush with scorpions and adrenaline, it does pretty good 8-9 turns to finish a game rarely 11 turns, and i was thinking to add 6 water pendulum and 6 Puffer fish ( the upped ones for poison), with only scorpions i have problems vs 2 def shields ( i cant poison so i loose my advantage) and most of the spells since they make 3-4 damage ( there are less with 5 damage to kill the fish) what do you guys think should i add them or not ? For now i use the deck for AI3 farming
This is my deck without the water cards :

The best way to get a rush deck is making it small. Cut out heals, weapon and shield to get much more consistent draws.
The bad side is that, as any scorpion deck, is vulnerable to shields and CC.

it has to few pillars. i would make the following changes:
-1 jade shield
-1 druidic staff
-3 adrenaline
-1 cockatrice

(adrenaline ads 3/6 (not upped vs upped) extra attack and 1 extra poison damage to the scorpion or ads 5 damage to a cockatrice. however if the adrenalined creature gets CC'd you lose 2 cards in stead of 1. that's a reason for less adrenaline).

with this changes the old QI 6,75 becomes 4,75 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5676)

after some thought i think -1 (extra) cocktrice and +1 pillar still improves the deck. (QI of 4,15)

I really like this deck but i think that you should remove two emerald pillars, jade shield and druidic staff.

You already have problems with quanta, removing pillars won't help.

I dont think removing shield is a good idea, i used to loose vs beattle spam from pharaoh and firefly, that's why i added the shield and it seems it gives me a pretty good chance to win now against those, against the other tipes it doesnt rly bother since is only 1, the big problem now is with fire/water decks that spam that water card that get 5 attack( and loose 1 per turn) with 2 fire quanta i never managed to win it unless it draws that card late in game also for the druidic staff it also saved me alot of times when i fought high damage cards, but i still dont know if i should add or not the 6 fish cards and 6 water pillar

I would of gotten rid of the scorpions and used horned frogs but thats just me.

I wouldn't add puffer fish. They are expensive (5 quanta). they don't die as easily but are a lot slower than scorpions.

maybe i should have named the topic different, i am interested in poison rush deck so removing the scorpions is not what i want i need advice to improve it without making it slower i want to make it as eficient at poisoning as it can get so i need suggestions on how to make it better( excluding deathstalker and dune scorpion)

well you could include poison/deadly poison (death card). it is just 1 quanta, so 3/4 death pendulums will do the trick. but it won't be faster than this version. (the poison is faster but the cockatrice does more damage than poison does).
