Hi there Snuffles,
I have build a deck (my first) that seems to be OK but for some
reason it doesn´t work so good. Here it is.
Prof. Minerva McGonagall
2x 4 Privet Drive
2x Hagrid Needs Help
1x Troll in the Bathroom
2x Pewter Cauldron
1x draught of living Death
1x Malevolent Mixture
3x Dogbreath Potion
2x Burning Bitterroot Balm
2x Hospital Wing
2x Jawbind Potion
2x Bloodroot Poison
3x Noxios Potion
3x Boil Cure
3x Foul Brew
2x Weakness Potion
Transfiguration:
1x Transfiguration Exam
2x Apparate
4x Incarcifors
22x Potions
The way I play is to get lessons on the table combined with
adventures and then go for some asskicking with the spellcards.
I hope you can help me with this.
Thanks

Hey there!!!! This
has the makings of a good deck, definitely a nice attempt for your first deck!
Yet I think you make a few common mistakes.
One is that you have too many spells that eat potions for lunch, by limiting
these; you can limit your wasted actions.
All in all, that and a few choices that I will explain as I go on should
make this a killer deck J

0x 4 Privet Drive (-2)
0x Hagrid Needs Help (-2)
3x Troll in the Bathroom (+2)
3x Gaze into the Mirror (+3)
Gaze into the mirror is better for this deck simply because
you aren't playing with creatures…. they can still play spells, but only ones that
don't do damage will have any effect…. troll in the bathroom is one of my
favorite additions to any potions deck….
it provides constant damage and most people don't like to solve it…. Hagrid needs help is a good card, but most
times it only sticks around for one turn… you might find it suits your deck
better, but I prefer troll in the bathroom from the little playtesting I've
done….
4x Pewter Cauldron (+2)
Get those puppies out!!!!!! You might only need one or two out
at a time, but I think you'll find them very helpful…. this way, you are sure
to draw one!
0x draught of living Death (-1)
3x Malevolent Mixture (+2)
3x Dogbreath Potion J
4x Burning Bitterroot Balm (+2)
2x Hospital Wing J
0x Jawbind Potion (-2)
0x Bloodroot Poison (-2)
0x Noxios Potion (-3)
0x Boil Cure (-3)
0x Foul Brew (-2)
0x Weakness Potion (-2)
4xPomphrey's Pick Me Up (+4)
Ok. A
lot of potions cards aren't really worth the damage they do…. you can look at
it like this…. noxious potion trades four of your actions for five of theirs….
one of your potions in play, the action of drawing noxious potion, the action
of playing noxious potion, and the action of replacing the potion you
lost…. foul brew doesn't cost any
actions, but it is weak…. you may be thinking that you want these to kill creatures,
but we will be taking care of that soon enough. Add a couple bitters and some pomphrey's pick me ups… Pomphrey is
a great card…. I think it is underated…. only play it if you aren't going to do
something else besides draw though…. this way, you heal a little and you get
your next card free J
Transfiguration:
0x Transfiguration Exam (-1)
0x Apparate (-2)
4x Incarcifors J
4x Diffindo (+4)
4x Lost Notes (+4)
I tried to keep in trans exam cuz I love that
card, but ten was just too hard to reach and stay at… diffindo will serve you well…. remember mcgonagal gets rid of one
adventure, diffindo should take care of the rest, or you can use them for
creatures…. lost notes just keeps your opponent off balance.
22x Potions J
This amount looks
good!

General advice and Strategy:
From the bat, try and
gain control. Limit their creatures and
their items, while amassing power.
Build up, while they build up.
Then, hit them for a lot of damage in middle game. Hit them for 18-20 cards all at once and
hopefully have an adventure out at the same time. Pay attention to your lessons in play. If you have a malevolent in your hand and five power out, but
they have a creature in play, it would be best to wait for the sixth so you can
hit it with incarcifors. Don't play
cards just because you can… with any potions deck, you have to be careful of
this…. ive played this deck a few times online and it seems pretty good, but
the trick is the sudden smack of damage.
Dogbreath can be used on creatures, remember, but also pay attention to
their library and yours; you may want to hit them instead.
Anywho, enough of me
rambling… I hope this works out better
for you!
Let me know how it
fares!
Take care and have
fun,
Snuffles
