some tips:
use unstppable only 1 time on a puffer fish (not multiple unstoppable on 1 puffer fish)
use ice lance on creatureslike otyugh, retrovirus, fallen druid
DO NOT PLAY the shield or the weapon if you are not sure that your enemy hasn't steal
you can put 2 ice lance instead of a puffer fish and an unstoppable

VERY GOOD TIP:

put 2 octopos(artic squid) and 2 freeze instead of an unstoppable, a puffer fish and 2 sapphire towers

I played titanium and... look at 3rd tip

Interesting, lol. I'm seeing a lot more of these mono-element decks with an off-element mark to fund low cost support spells from other elements. These, so far, seem to be the best way to make duo-element decks. o-o

I think the puffer fishes are rather cute and while this may not be an amazingly effective deck, as you noted in the opening post. I think it is nonetheless a neat setup, although I would personally take some more "utility" like Congeal or Octos to cover your def instead of lances!

Yeah, you should definitely drop Bolts and take 6 x Congeal. It's one of the best cards for poison decks.

Otherwise it's looking good. Although I'm not sure if you need that Titan. It's quite expensive to pay with only a mark.

I was waiting for Puffer Fishes to show up in a deck. Smart use of Unstoppable, more decks need that nowadays.

As Scaredgirl says, having Congeals usually works out better than Ice Lance, as Congeal holds more early-game power. By the time Ice Lance starts killing tougher creatures like FFQ, you've entered the phase of the game where you need to already be ahead in damage through poison. Although, Ice Lance does have the advantage of killing Mind Flayers outright, one of this deck's bigger worries.

One concern is that your creatures are pretty fragile and few in number... not sure if there's a real way to get around that though. Early Lobotomizer will ruin you as well; again, not much you can really do without having to pull in another element.

I'd actually say that while you indeed should not play the Ice Shield early game, this is a momentum deck so once you get going with several Unstoppables you might as well play it, as poison decks need to slow the opponent as much as they can while they build up poison counters, and even if it's stolen, no real harm is done.

I do have to question whether this will be fast enough at getting poison counters out early-game, the time where poison has to gain an advantage, because unlike Chysaoras, Puffer Fish are stopped cold by Sundial, giving your opponent time to get his own creatures and spells out. Again, not really sure if there's really any way around that with the current element balance...
