Exactly what it says on the tin. Use scorpions for quick, lasting poison damage and thunderbolts for cc or to finish the opponent off. Heal as necessary, but scorpions should have priority over them.

Based on jmdt's Thundercocks (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21017.0.html)
Thanks Gl1tch for helping me tweak it

I disagree.  His deck is extremely different, and if you don't mind my saying, far better.

The scorpion's poison is a far more consistent form of damage, you don't have to worry about getting counter controlled.  This deck plays a lot more like a stall, with heals and control.  Your deck plays like a rush.

I really like this design, it's got nice synergy.  I might try playing it.

After some testing, -1 adrenaline +1 scorp works better.  I got decked out by basic stall because I couldn't keep enough scorpions alive.  Adrenaline only gives you one more poison, having more creatures is better, in my humble opinion.

jmdt, I did see that deck before, but I thought mine was different enough to post because mine usually plays out like a poison stall while yours is more of a rush. Anyway I apologize for using your life/aether idea and I'll give you credit in the OP.

Cool deck :D
Speed poisons can get outrushed by a normal speedbow so the CC will help a lot.
