Adrenaline on flying shortbows

[-Levi-]

I searched the forums and didn't find any posts about this, so here's the main points:
-Flying shortbow is a 3/3, but it gains +1 atk if you have an air mark
-Adrenaline grants a creature 3 successive attacks every turn for creatures that have 3 atk or lower

BUT

An adrenalined shortbow deals 4x4=16 damage instead of the regular 4+3+2=9 that 4 atk creatures would normally do, because even with the bonus from mark of air, its attack power is technically still 3.
Additionally you can use SoF which is a great combo with adrenaline since your creatures get more chances per turn to get its boost.

You can also use Sky Blitz to make it deal 7+4+4+4=19, SoF can increase this even further as well as ignoring shield effects.

Here's a deck I made based on this, it's far from perfect but good enough as a sort of proof of concept. I'd add more shards if I had any.

It's a 3 card combo, so not that reliable, but tends to win in just a few turns if you get a good hand.

Are you sure that adrenalined shortbows behave in this manner?  I once designed an adrenaline fahrenheit deck based on the same concept, having visions of fahrenheits hitting 3x a round, but the fiery bonus counted towards the attack value, so I abandoned it.

Yeah, it does. For some reason the two effects are treated differently or rather the timing when they receive the damage bonus is different.

I tried this deck out for Surviving Elements (see it here: http://youtu.be/swjpH5mgxWY), and it was really cool to see how the Shard, Flying Weapon, and Adrenaline all worked out to take advantage of Shortbow's unique properties. It's card interactions like this that help make Elements such a deep and rewarding experience.
