So this is my first attempt at a speedbow. This is unique in that it uses poison for damage.

Quantum Tower: More quanta = more cards played
Supernova: A quick burst of quanta, essential in every speedbow
Deathstalker: 2 poison for each successful attack - what's not to like?
Dune Scorpion: The neurotoxin ability can be quite deadly
Unstoppable: Power up your scorpions to make them do something
Blessings: See above
Epinephrine: Brilliant synergy with Blessing and Puffer Fish
Puffer Fish: Add on even more poison damage
Explosion: Blow up your opponent's permanents
Steal: Steal your opponent's permanents
Quicksand: Deny your opponent's quanta
Improved Fog: A nice shield that lets you dodge a lot of damage
Twin Universe: Versatile - use it on one of your buffed creatures, or the opponent's

Scorpion: Perhaps the most natural choice, but I chose Epinephrine over this as I think it adds a lot more damage, and has great synergy with Blessing/Puffer Fish.
Vampire Dagger: Healing and damage is nice, but IMO unnecessary.
Arsenic: Again, a natural choice, but drains precious .
Deadly Poison: See above.
Chrysaora: See above.
Chaos Power: Use some of that spare to buff up your scorpions.
Elite Graboid: A staple of most speedbows, a couple of these could replace Quicksand, but they battle with Dune Scorps for the .

Play Towers and Supernovas immediately. Generally you'll want to get neurotoxin on the enemy with a single momentumed Dune Scorp, then you can forget about it. Your main damage is blessed Deathstalkers with adrenaline. They deal 12 damage and 4 poison counters per turn. These should be your top Twinning priority. You can use adrenaline on a Puffer Fish, but NEVER bless it if you do.

It definitely needs more card balance, and it's not the fastest, but it's definitely fun and I believe it has potential. Feedback and suggestions are much appreciated.

Look very similar to this http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,15008.msg204308#msg204308

Blessings suck, try a PSNBow with Chaos Power.

Yea, if you're gonna keep the Quantum Towers, a chaos power or two might be a better choice over Blessings.

The above is my Speed Poison deck which I still use and still have good success with in T500. In that, I favour Blessings over Chaos Power only because Adrenaline is a lot more powerful on a 3 attack creature!

True it has no PC or CC but it's often uneeded and I'm sure you could switch an adrenaline or scorpion out if you really wanted!

Btw an adrealined scorpion deal only 2 poison counter even if he attacks 4 times (yeah it is a nerf).

Otherwise I'll remove one blessing and put a chaos power or two in this deck because you didn't use entropy quanta at all (except for SN off course but you get them back).

By scorpion, I mean Deathstalker. Hence, 4 poison.

Which is why I had blessing and adrenaline in my version.

Turn a 3 attack + 2 poison creature into 12 attack and 4 poison.

More damage than Ruby Dragon

Add in a Neurotoxin and that poison counter jumps really fast!
