So i've seen deck sorta like this one and i was wondering what i could do to help this deck out. I've tested it some and it has a pretty good win rate in ai3.

You can run Poison off-mark. Just remove all other non cards.
Also -Bond, -2 Mitosis, add in some more pillars and Adren for quicker poison. Generally you won't get enough critter for Bond to heal effectively. Or if you still want the healing then switch Bond for SoG.
For weapon, use Druidic Staff.

I've tried something quicker. Your deck is a rush deck so get rid of those heal.. Mitosis is also pretty slow. You can power all the death cards just with your mark, this will allow you to always have the death quanta you need, and you can play more cards as you don't have to play death pillar.

Hmm. Life and death is a tricky duo to use since there really isn't that much synergy between the two elements. You should go with what ralouf posted. Poisons and arsenic are extremely cheap, so they can be run off a mark. Mitosis is quite slow in your rush deck, so remove it. emptathetic bond and the shard are also healing cards and don't fit in a rush deck. Personally, I would go for more horned frogs than scorpions, but it's really up to you. Adrenalin'd scorpions do 4 damage per turn and add 2 poison each turn, while adrenalin'd frogs do 12 damage per turn.

Good point here : frog may be better than scorpion but I put more scorpion to fit the theme : POISON ^^
But yes frog are better in most of the case, specially vs a 1DR shield were scorpion become just useless.

Yup. And frogs are cheaper too. Not really a good idea to stuff all your attacks into one basket (poison) just in case your opponent packs purify. Without shields, it'd take scorpions 8 turns to outdamage what a frog puts out. While shields damper frogs, it makes the scorpions outright useless. The poison is mainly there as a way for life decks to get around pesky shields like dim shield and wings which shuts down your deck completely. Here's a deck I would make following these principles.

I made a deck based on poison because he said it was for AI3 and no AI3 has purify
