SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE
Hi there Snuffles,
I just read the deck fix of a friend of mine (the catch the
match deck), and
I thought I'd share with you my deck idea. When a new
expansion comes out, I
like to pick one card that I think is interesting to create
a deck around.
With the adventures at Hogwarts that card was Every Flavour
beans. If used
right I think this card can be really cool.
Here's the idea:
Quidditch has some cards that let you reveal and arrange the
top cards of
your deck ( Cleansweep seven and time out). So that's one
way to go with the
every Flavour beans without cramming your deck with lessons,
just make sure
that when you put the cards back, the top two cards are
lessons and the
third card (the one you may draw with the beans) is a cards
you can really
use. Next, if you are not in need of more lessons, but you
still have a time
out or Cleansweep, there's Lee Jordan to make you get the
top three card
witch you can make sure are all Quidditch cards. Lastly,
because this deck
is build around the beans, it should get a lot of lessons
out, this means
you can use some high cost cards like mid-air collision and
out of control,
in combination with Quidditch Cup.
Here's the deck:
Hooch's sweet tooth
Starter:
Madam Rolanda Hooch
Lessons
Transfiguration x22
Characters:
Lee Jordan
Madam Pomfrey
Argus Filch (hate that 4 privet drive ;)
Spells:
Ever-Flavour Beans x4
Diffindo x3
Picking on Neville x3
Transfiguration Exam x2
Time Out x4
Cobbing x2
Loop-the-Loops x2
Bludger in the Stands x2
Mid-air collision x3
Out of Control x3
Items:
Quidditch Cup x2
Cleansweep Seven x2
Adventures:
In the Stands x3 (Riding the centaur is too easy to solve)
Some pointers on game-play:
Use hooch's ability when you have a every Flavour beans to
search for
Cleansweep. Drop Cleansweep at the start of your turn if the
first card you
drew was not a lesson (the broom only lets you see four
cards, and the
change that you will not have two lessons with those four
cards if you
already drew a lesson is pretty big). I use a pretty diverse
array of spells
(Quidditch wise).
I haven't tested it with Filch, Pomfrey and Trans Exam yet.
I know it's not a killer deck, but it's fun to play with,
and maybe you have
some good ideas to make it a bit better (it already works
pretty decent
though), my main problem is with creatures, but I think you
could guess that
already.

P.S. I can almost get any card I need, so feel free to add
what you like!

Hey there!
Well you have found about the only good use I could imagine for Every
Flavor Beans! So congrats on that! I didn't make too many changes here cuz your
deck looked pretty solid already. I
play-tested this a few times and it can be really mean denial type stuff
yo! Plus its fairly fast in lesson
advancement which surprised me. I would
like to see more recycling in this deck, but I couldn't figure out how to put
it in without losing valuable spots.
Basically this deck combines some nice lesson advancement with good
denial and damage. You could count
yourself lucky if you get the Beans combo off more than once, but it is still
an effective early game jump.
SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE
Starter:
Duh! Perfect fit to grab that
combo Cleansweep and provides your Quidditch Lesson.
Characters:
Normally I would say that Lee Jordan should be taken out, but I found
him very effective in this deck for some reason. However, I swapped him out for Color Changing Ink because I found
it more effective. The choice is of
course up to you.
Transfiguration: The
only real change I made here was that I changed out Transfiguration Exam for
Scribblifors. You may decide to switch
back and that is fine, but not everyone is playing creatures and it is
dangerous to focus your deck too much against them. Plus, Scribblifors takes out any two creatures, albeit one goes
back to their hand. But overall, I
found waiting for the ten spot with little to no advancement a little risky. Up the Pickings to four and drop a Diffindo.
Quidditch: I can
not stress enough that with almost every Quidditch Deck, you must play
Fouled! Let me repeat that 3 times just
so nobody else even thinks about sending me Quid decks without Fouled! Or I could just yammer on and on about how
you should almost always include Fouled! in your Quidditch Decks! At any rate, except for the oversight of not
including Fouled! this section is pretty solid. I think you focussed a little too much on the combo with the Time
Outs, but they do come in handy, so drop down to two of these. Cobbing helps the Denial side of this deck
and Loop the Loops are amazing! I found
that the Denial was fairly strong, so I opted for more damage rather than the
Out of Controls because the 4 cards from hand tended not to pose a problem for
my opponents.
Items: Great
Job! The Cup makes this thing roll like
a man playing knick knack on my thumb!
We swapped out Lee Jordan for Color Changing Ink.
Adventures: You may
want to consider Looking for Trevor as opposed to In the Stands. If your denial is on, this will be much
harder to solve and hit their game play much harder. Overall, beware of McGonagall and yes, critters are your main
threat. I would play around with both
of these and see which you like best.
Normally I would agree that In the Stands is better, but in a denial
deck, Looking for Trevor seems to fit more.
Something to consider is that you could take out these 3 adventures
period for more Scribblifors and Diffindo.
I would generally advise this as I like my decks to be effective against
all decks, but you seemed to like the adventure, so we stuck with it.
Lessons: This
amount seems to work surprisingly well!
The beans really help you get the lessons you need.

Just
a note here:
This deck is pretty solid, but malleable. There are a lot of cards that could be opted
instead of each other as I tried to point out through the mech. Looking for Trevor could become another
adventure or more denial cards. Color
Changing Ink can become Lee Jordan or more Quidditch Damage. Feel free to play around with this a bit,
but I think the format is pretty strong.
Like you said, not exactly a killer deck, but definitely fun to play.
Just
another little note: Red and Gold are Gryffindor Colors!!!! I thought that was pretty cool lol.
