SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE
Hey,
Snuffles (heh, I love Sirius. Anyway...). I kinda pulled an experiment the
other night. See, I don't have a whole lot of Quidditch or Potions cards, for
whatever reason, since I usually play with Charms or Transfig. I decided to use
most or all of the cards from those two lesson types and try to slap together a
deck. This is what I came up with:
Characters:
- 1 The Famous Harry Potter [starter]
Adventures:
- 1 Race for the Snitch
- 1 Hut on the Rock
Matches:
- 1 Muddy Practice
Items:
- 1 Cleansweep Seven
- 1 Bluebottle Broom
- 1 School Broom
- 2 Quidditch Through the Ages
- 3 Pewter Cauldron
- 2 Moonseed Poison
- 1 Potion Ingredients
- 1 Jawbind Potion
- 1 Magical Drafts and Potions
Quidditch:
- 1 Quick Thinking
- 1 Bludger in the Stands
- 1 Bludger Bop
- 2 Sloth Grip
Potions:
- 2 Dogbreath Potion
- 1 Dungbomb
- 2 Erumpent Potion
- 2 Butterfly Weed Balm
- 1 Elixir of Life
- 1 Malevolent Mixture
- 2 Boil Cure
- 2 Foul Brew
- 1 Dogbane Potion
- 1 Swelling Potion
- 3 Hospital Wing
- 1 Draught of Living Death
- 1 Shrinking Potion
- 2 Snape's Question
Lessons:
- 11 Potions
- 7 Quidditch
Bear in
mind that every single Potions and Quidditch lesson I own is in there, and if
I'm only running one of a card, chances are, I only have one to begin with
(you'd think with an entire base set booster box, a starter set, and numerous
packs, I'd have more, wouldn't you?). My main problem is that it's slow...I
generally can't get the lessons out unless I have a decent shuffle, which I
guess isn't surprising. It usually gets trounced by my boyfriend's Transfig and
Creatures deck (which uses Hermione to get lessons out quick and kill me), but
generally beats my other deck, which is Charms & Creatures. Basically what
it does is try to stall the opponent long enough with cheap, small spells and
use healing cards to try to recycle lessons until I have enough lessons out to
either get the Moonseed Poisons out (wish I had four of those) or have enough
actual Potions lessons (not items that provide lessons) to discard the two I'd
need for Malevolent Mixture.
I thought
about putting Ron in as my starter, and adding Nearly Headless Nick in as en
extra character. That way I could use Ron's ability to use only one action to
pull Nick out, then use his ability on my next action to search my deck for the
two Moonseed Poisons. But you're the deck mech, not me, and I'd love to hear
your suggestions so I could take this deck to the league next week and see how
it does.
Thanks!

Sorry,
forgot something kind of important: I have one booster of Quidditch Cup cards
(because they disappeared quick here and never returned) and only about five
packs of Diagon Alley and one Adventures at Hogwarts. But, I do have almost the
entire base set, if that helps.

Hey there! I totally
know what it is like to try and build decks with limited cards! So a lot of times with Decks like these, you
have to settle for the best deck you can make with the cards that you have. This can take a lot of work, but a lot of
times these end up being my favorite decks because they end up being the most
unique and fun to play. I suggest
starting out with what you have and as you get new cards, side in better ones
for ones that you already have.
Generally, this means better damage or more annoying cards. We emailed back and forth a little bit and I
decided to go with Ron Weasley for your starting character because he is fun to
play with (at least I think so) and you will get more use out of him then some
of your other characters.

Ideally in
this deck, I would suggest more Quidditch damage as they are relatively cheap
and hurt your opponent a lot. Fouled!
and Cobbing are my favorites and there are several other good ones as
well. Potions should be limited to
cards that only eat one of your lessons unless they are really worth it. Exceptions to this rule in general are
Malevolent Mixture and the like. Some
Brooms are good and some are not so good.
I like Comet 260 the best for this deck. If you get more of these, put them in. I don't like going with multiple brooms because there is usually
one you want to keep out and if you draw another one and don't want to play it
is a dead card in your hand. As for
adventures, you said that Creatures tend to hurt it, so I would go with the
good ol' stand by Unusual Pets.
SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE
Characters: Like I said, we are going with Ron
Weasley. Extra Characters are a lot of
fun and can often come in handy. I
noticed you had quite a few good extra characters to play with, that is why I chose
Ron. Hannah Abbott, Draco Malfoy, and
the Famous Harry Potter in particular are exceptionally good for this deck.
Adventures: Let's hurt your opponent for playing
creatures with Unusual Pets. If they
aren't playing creatures, you can discard this with Draco if you draw him. And if you have Quirrel out with this card,
play the adventure and then use his ability and they can't solve for a while
either!
Items: I feel that you did a pretty good job
here. Let's just stick to the Comet 260
for Brooms though. Moonseed Poison is a
great damage card and the books help you out with lessons. Cauldrons for extra power and Ingredients
for damage prevention…. Like I said… nice job!
Quidditch: As I said above, add in Quidditch Damage as
you get more cards! Ideally we want 4
Fouled! and 4 Cobbing plus whatever else you can get your hands on!
Potions: Stay away from the cards that only do one or
two damage. It is not likely that these
will make a big difference in the game.
This goes alike for small heals like Boil Cure. If you have bigger heals and better cards to
put in, replace smaller heals with better damage. Also, Elixir of Life is so hard to get to with this deck. I know it's just a super cool card and I'll
understand if you keep it in your deck, but I often find that this card fits
into an extremely small percentage of decks.
Lessons: Add em as you get em! Ideally we want about 22-25 lessons/power
providers in most decks. This can go up
or down depending on your costs and what not also.

Overall, I
think you need to add some lessons and Quidditch Damage as you get them. Ideally I would like to see you start out
with Madam Rolanda Hooch so you only have to worry about Potions Lessons.
