trying out some new ideas and takes on poison decks, this one is my last idea:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52o 52o 710 710 71a 71a 71e 71e 71e 71e 71e 71e 74a 74a 74a 74a 74a 74a 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 8pk

Oh those Deathstalkers. I love them though their real potential is difficult to achieve in my opinion.

I guess your deck is a lot draw dependent since you need Nova + Unstoppable.
Problem is, if you have bad draws you're waiting some time to get the combo.

That's why I personally think that when using Deathstalkers you should use a combo
that is worth waiting for. In other words, to make up for the damage received up to then.

I think this works best with epinephrine. Since an epi'd stalker deals 4 poison counters + atk.
So if you really want a pure poison-stalker 'rush' you should try to build it in the deck.

Here's a deck I made a long time ago: Death Ray of Life
A different approach could be something like this: (quickly built, not optimized at all)

71e 71e 71e 71e 71e 71e 72i 72i 72i 72i 72i 72i 72i 7an 7an 7an 7an 7an 7an 7ta 7ta 7ta 7ta 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 8pn

Those decks aren't always faster than yours since they're trios. But the speed they have as soon as the combo is out is incredibly high. I achieved like over 30 Poison counters in 3 turns? Not to forget the damage made by the stalkers.

I hope you found at least some inspiration :)

i remember that blessing+ epi combo with deathstalkers :D pretty cool deck!

you are kinda right with the fact that deathstalkers need a worth-waiting combo, although my deck is able to pull off 7-turn kills, wich is pretty fast for a poison deck imo. of course that all that speed came from lucky starter hand and consistent drawing, 2 vital things for a deck like this

EDIT: just had a new idea for a speed poison deck lol, although this one does not use deathstalkers

so simple, yet so fast. can kill in 6 turns, poisons help with annoying shields and heals to stall or even EM if you're a bit lucky
