Considering that the oponent's creatures will die in the same amount ot attacks, you are just making the oponents deck faster. Isn't that pointless?

against growth creatures, creatures with abilities like devour, lobo, destroy, etc... it prevents them to use their abilities turn after turn to either avoid their death or ruin your strategy... but that doesnt matter because i still think the deck is too slow to survive until a full setup

Creatures with more than 3 attack, on average will do less damage before they die.

Example:

Abomination 5/5 against the unupped shield without adrenaline, assuming all infects succeed.
DamageHPPoison counters
551
542
523
50dies
Total 20 damage in 4 turns.

Abomination 5/5 against the unupped shield with adrenaline, assuming all infects succeed.
DamageHPPoison counters
551
442
223
50dies
Total 16 damage in 2 turns.

Slightly less damage, however faster damage.
Anyway, it is not worth a whole deck around that strategy, even for creatures with abilities. And for the frogs, it is better to just run Adrenalines instead of tears.
By the way, a single Steal can be a disaster. If the opponent gets the shield, the frogs and adrenalined nymphs are doomed.

Vineroz:  Good idea.  I'll do that.
realpk2:  Note that this deck is in BETA stage, and therefore is not meant for competitive.  Of course it won't survive against dragons!  The best thing vs. dragons is a grav shield. 
Wizy:  Steals are lethal to this deck, gonna need some way to prevent that.  Unfortunately, Water and Life come up dry.  Good point, might as well lock this.
I love me some troll decks.
