Does anyone else think the picture for this card is hilarious? I'm automatically
biased in favor of cards with good artwork. I'm glad to report that the effect of
this card is also worthwhile. It's nearest equivalent is Dogbreath Potion, which
deals 2 more damage, but also costs two more lessons to cast. If your point of
emphasis is to directly attack your opponent, then Dogbreath is superior, as you
want to apply as much damage as possible. On the other hand, if your primary
concern is creature elimination, then Fungiface gets the nod, due to it's ease of
casting. There are only three creatures in the game (Fang, Giant Squid, Fluffy)
that this card won't take out, and two of them are also immune from Dogbreath.
Don't play this card if your deck runs Transfiguration, as there are other better
choices. But otherwise, this makes a nice creature control card for Potions decks.

This card is definitely a close relative of Dogbreath Potion where has they
have similiar damage levels, as well as similiar discarding levels. Doing
six damage is nice, especially if you're worried about dragons coming out on
the board. The one card discard is once again distressing. Potions would
be an almost essential lesson type if everyone wasn't worried about
discarding so many lessons while playing it. Granted there are ways around
this dilema. Now I'm not one to advertise Hermoine, but couple Hermoine
with Potions Dungeon and technically speaking you could play Fungiface over
and over, you could play Malovent Mixtures, two turns in a row, the
possibilities could be endless.

If you haven't learned by now, Potions is a compromising lesson type. If you want damage early,
you gota discard. If you want big damage early, you gota discard alot. If you want really big
damage, you gota wait a while and then discard alot. This card does 6 for 4 but at the loss of
a lesson. Personally, I'd prefur Alihotsy Draught over this card. You could do 6 damage or kill
and item just by waitin and building up your lesson supply a bit. Sure, Fungiface could be used
to kill creatures, but how often is that gona happen? Most of the time, these kinda potion cards
are used on your opponent instead of his creatures. It seems wastful to me to use this to pick
off a Cunning Fox and be doing 5 overkill instead of the whole 6 to your opponent and bring the
game closer to an end. =)

This is simply another Ouchy card for Potions. One step up from Noxious
Poison. I don't like Potions for getting rid of creatures unless they are
really big. I like potions to hurt my opponent because they tend to have
higher damage. So likewise, I personally like to stick to higher damage
Potions Damage. 6 is nothing to laugh at, but you could get the same deal
or darn near it without losing a lesson with Quidditch or Charms. Not to
say that this is a bad card, but often times I would bet on people siding
this out for something else.
