At the six lesson level, you start getting the expectation of two effects for
your spell cards. This provides that, in giving you a respectable four damage
and a draw. Draws are a rare occurance for charms spells, and the four
damage is close to blue's natural maximum, the five damage of the top end
Stupefy. I like this card better than Stupefy, in fact, although in most cases
I'm still going to prefer Stream of Flames. But if you already have four Streams
in your deck, and you have room for some more blue pain spells, this card
should be on your short list of candidates.

4 damage plus a draw for one action, you gotta like that. But, Bewitched
Snowball let's you do damage to a creature or your opponent, and this is
opponent only, so Blue Wig loses use there. If you're ever running a pure
charms deck (which I've done with success :D), this card is cool. But, when
you have a Charms/CoMC deck, this deck just doesn't fit in. This is an ok
card, but Bewitched Snowball is better, and cheaper. :)

This card is cool! I love the cards like Bewitched Snowballs and this
one that basically give you a free action by laying them and then
drawing your card. With a deck of cards like that the chances of you
running out of spells and having to draw are slim to none. Combine that
ability and four damage makes this card better then Stupefy or the copycat
Backfire!. I would consider this card when playing a charms deck but I
usually opt for one that also does damage to creatures.

The Blue Wig isn't that powerful of a spell card, but it does damage and it
lets you have a free draw, which can be an extreme benefit. Besides having
funny artwork, this card is better then Stupefy and while it just doesn't
scream put me in your deck, it can be really useful for non creature decks.
I suspect that in the coming weeks we'll see alot of new creature decks with
the new set coming out, but I also think we'll see alot of new spell decks
coming out, and spell cards that let you get a free draw and keep your hand
refreshed will definitely be handy.

Do 4 damage AND draw a card? Whoa, did I misunderstand something? That's like
getting a reward for beating up your brother! Can't beat that, eh? ;') Well, true
it is at the power level when you'd normally be using Stupify, or other eqivilants,
but when you're going for damage, everyone and their dog can help out. Plus, the fact
that it basically replaces itself in your hand is a nice motor card too.

Stupefy? Blue Wig? Stupefy? Blue Wig? This is pretty much where i end up
when i am making Charms decks and i want a little of the heavier charms
damage in a deck. You need to ask yourself if the drawing of the card is
going to advance the deck or not. I usually end up saving this spell for
the first action just in case i draw something i need. Any card that saves
you that action of searching your deck is always a good option. Of course
the card you draw is not always useful, but if you wanna go nutty and couple
this with the Cleansweep 7.... uhm.... just use pulling up.... idunno....
Snuffy is tired, but he likes this card.
