1) My strategy
is to get out lessons fast using Hermoine and Transfiguration spells and then
use Harry to help me draw quickly into my deck and lay out big creatures to win
the match. I use Hagrid to boost the power of my creatures (they all have
a power of 3 or more, except for the Unicorn) and 4 Privet Drive to protect
them.
2) EVERY
other person I play in my area plays creature decks; that is why I am
fairly heavy on creature removal. Because creatures are popular I face a
lot of decks playing In the Stands which is the reason I have included so many
Apparates.
3) I am not
making my deck on apprentice, so I have to rely on actual cards. I have a
very large collection and a full set of 4 of many base-set rares. I DO
NOT have four of most creature rares (i.e. Fluffy, Unicorn).
4) This deck is
over by 3 cards. I am not sure which three to get rid of, but I hoped you
could be of some help.
Thanks,
Anthony

Hola Anthony! It’s probably been a while
since I’ve done a deck like this before. Let’s see how we can perfect it.
Characters:
Hermoine
gives your deck the lesson speed it needs. I liked the two Harrys when I play-tested,
as they really do help you get to the cards you need. Hagrid is good too if you
get it out before your opponent (if he even plays Hagrid).
Adventures:
The
Privets help protect you and your creatures from your opponent’s spells. Leave
it like you got it.
Creatures:
+2 Cunning Fox
+1 Baby Dragon
+2 Mysterious Egg
-3 Hagrid and the Stranger
-1 Guard Dog
-1 Vicious Wolf
Cunning
fox comes out a little quicker for same damage Dog and Wolf do. The g-dogs are
usually off balance in Hermoine decks because you try to play two lessons for 1
action whenever you can, so you usually have an even number of lessons in play.
Baby Dragon is good quick damage too. Replace Strangers with Eggs for a more
aggressive approach in the deck. You won’t have to wait for the creature you
want to be discarded to use Stranger, unlike Egg where you can search for the
creature you need, if it’s in your deck.
Spells:
-2
Transfiguration Test
-1 Take
Root
Since we started out 3 cards over the limit, we’ll make our cut here. Test might hurt you as much as your opponent, and now that we’ve slightly increased the number of creatures in this deck, it’s even more risky. Incarcifors does what Root does, but better, especially in a Hermoine deck where even lesson are a common happening.
Lessons:
Only twenty lessons in any other deck without
some speed demon like Hermoine and lessons finder spells like you got, would be
pretty crazy. Good ratio here. Nice work.
Great
deck! Best of luck in your duels to come. ;)
