I feel like the fact that two scorpions exist only the combo with other cards and only one is usable by itself is dumb. Why not change all scorpion to 1/1? Why do scorpions even need a blessing or nightfall to sting people? Why can only scorpions in forests attack without the aid of some other affect? Logically and flavor-wise, this makes no sense. But game wise, why should any card exist only for combos? I feel like Forest Scorpion should be a 2/1, Deathstalker a 1/1 and Dune Scorpion a 1/1. Also, Death should have the best poison creature at base, Life should have an aggresive poison creature not considering the poison affect, and Time should have a poison creature that works well in the Elements because that would support each element having a distinct feel but using common mechanics.

The poison from Deathstalker and Dunes is more powerful than the poison from Forest scorp. That's why they have 0 attack, they would be unbalanced with 1 att.

The idea behind the balance of the three differs because Deathstalker and Dune Scorpion both have more valuable effects.  Scorpion is a blunt version of the concept, whereas the other two are more extreme variations, which to remain balanced would best require use of a card that is outside of time.
Rule #1: The Captain is never wrong.  Rule #2: If the Captain is wrong, refer to Rule #1.

Okay, I take this back after playing more with Forest Scorpion. If every scorpion had at least 1 attack, that would be super busted and create "strictly better" cards, which are never good for a game.

proving why 1 poison > 2 poison isn't that hard. Its not like its as hard as geometry proofs or anything.

I'm actually thankful that   :death doesn't have a buff to stalkers. Adrenastalkers would be eventualy broken
