_ SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE__
Hi
there Snuffles
Here
is another deck idea from Holland (like the Bludger/muddy practice idea from my
fellow countryman). This deck I send you already works pretty decent. The
reason I sent it is because I wanted to show off the idea. I believe it is
somewhat different than most of the decks ideas you get. Well, here it is;
Gringotts
Mounting Wealth
Starting
Character;
Prof.
Minerva McGonagall
Lessons;
Potion
11x
Charms
10x
Items;
Colour-Changing
Ink 2x
Moonseed
Poison 4x
Hagrid’s
Umbrella 1x
Spells;
Bruisewort
Balm 3x
Snuffling
Potion 2x
Jawbind
Potion 3x
Diffindo
2x
Switching
Spell 2x
Picking
On Neville 3x
Transfiguration
Test 2x
Bewitched
Snowballs 4x
Blue
Wig 4x
Gringotts
Vault Key 1x
Locations;
Gringotts
2x
Adventures;
Midnight
Duel 2x
Letters
from No One 2x
Ok,
here is WHY;
Minerva
isn’t to exiting a choice, but what can you do. The deck is sort of centered
around Gringotts, though it doesn’t depend on it. Bewitched Snowballs and Blue
Wig make sure I don’t have to waste any of the 3 actions I get to drawing.
Jawbind Potion and Letters from No One try to force my opponent to do so. The
main damage I do is done by Moonseed Poison, that is why I put in four of those
complemented by the Switching Spells. The Switching Spell can also be used to
get Colour-Changing Ink early in the game. This item is really useful in this
one because of the extra draws (making my hand fill nicely) and the great
possibility I get stuck with unplayable Moonseed/Diffindo early in the game or
useless lesson card in late game. Snuffling Potion is a real annoyance when my
opponent hasn't got any useful cards in his hand (or can’t play them because of
Jawbind) and has to lose one card at the start of his turn and can’t use any of
the remaining 3 actions and just has to give the turn back to me. I use
Bruisewort Balm to cycle my Moonseed usually or the transfiguration control
cards, I don’t want to sacrifice a lesson for a bigger healer because I need
them too much, or I can use them with the Ink to get more cards when I use it.
Midnight Duel finally is there because I LOVE IT! And it works like this; if my
opponent is able to play say 2 spells and a creature he/she also loses 3 cards!
It’s almost impossible to solve and makes Snuffling Potion more effective or
makes sure my opponent wastes action drawing cards, while I drop BOMBS!
Ok,
that’s it at long last. I hope you can see the idea here, I know it isn’t a big
winner but it’s a lot of fun to play with! Maybe you can make some adjustments
so it’s not just fun but BALLBREAKING also. Thanx and greeting from sunny
Holland, Banquo.
By
the way, I will not be using this deck on apprentice and cards are not really a
problem. I can usually get what I need.
P.S.
I wrote this before the CoS set came out. So maybe there are a few good
additions from that one.

Wow!!! I ended up changing this deck a lot! But I think you will be pleased in the
end. The deck flows more smoothly now and
I think the theme of what you were trying to do is better now. I ended up taking out the Potions. Moonseed just didn't seem to work for you. I ended up putting quite a few cards from
new set into this deck including a couple fun adventures and the passwords. As you still needed that healing, I couldn't
think of anything better than a couple Madam Pomfrey. I also added some wands so you can get going quicker. I think critters are going to be your
biggest threat. So if they are heavily
played in your area, substitute Out of the Woods for Purple Firecrackers. You do seem to draw a bit more with this
version, but I think it works better.
Anywho, here we go!

Starting Character: She
works well for you!
Items: Well
as Gringotts helps your deck, but it is not essential, we will just stick with
the good ol' fashioned Borrowed Wand.
The 3-5 jump is great in this deck and everything happens to cost 6 or
less so you only need 3 lessons in play until you are ready to play Midnight
Duel. Colour Changing Ink does work
great in this deck, but I simply could not find the room for it. And as I said before… no more potions, so no more Moonseed Potion.
Potions: Your
main two spells here were Jawbind Potion and Snuffling Potion. However, I think you can hurt your opponent
a lot worse with simple hand denial combined with your adventures.
Transfiguration: Well
not nearly as many items now, so no more Switching Spell, and Diffindo is good,
but Caught! is better for this deck.
Usually they don't have 4 cards to discard, so it's practically
Diffindo, but cheaper. Also, I found
Mice to Snuffboxes much more effective than your Transfiguration Test.
Charms: Ok,
here is where we have a little fun! I threw
in End of Year Feast so you can get your adventures back and I threw in some
passwords! These things are cool! Cheaper than Moonseed and they usually do 8
damage. Plus they are just plain fun to
play!
Adventures: Add
a couple Escaping the Dursleys to really infuriate your opponent. I usually don't recommend this many
adventures for a deck, but they are vital to the theme.
Locations: I
was really surprised, but this works for you!
Lessons: As
I discussed, I cut the potions.

Sorry that I changed this
deck so much. I really liked the
concept you had and I tried to make it as effective as I could. I wanted to include a lot of the cards you
had earlier, but there simply wasn't room for it all. I usually try to stay as close to the persons deck as I can, but
I believe this version will work much better for you.

Well I hope that helps!
Let me know how it fares!
Take care and have fun!
