Dear Snuffles,
I think you have got a great sense of humor, really! Making a poem about Bulgeye Potion and a detective story on Moonseed Poison!! Don't forget the one on potions Ingredients too!!
Anyway, I think you are a Harry Potter TCG pro, and you must have some great ideas for my deck! Add any cards you want but please don't put in any from Adventures from Hogwarts or Chamber of Secrets as they don't sell them where I am living!

Deck Name: Draught Despair, Charming Care

Starting Character:

1 Minerva McGonagall
Adventures:

2 Hagrid Needs Help
Spells:

4 Dogbreath Potion
3 Malevolent Mixture
2 Draught of Living Death
4 Titillando
3 Confundus
3 Illegibilus
2 Obliviate
4 Vermillious
3 Bluebell Flames
3 Accio
2 Gringotts Vault Key
Items:

2 Bulgeye Potion
Lessons:

13 Potion lessons
10 Charms lessons

This deck's worse enemy is 4 Privet Drive and therefore has McGonagall as the starting character. Even though I was tempted to add some adventure discarding cards in I thought that perhaps they might not be able to hang on to it without an Illegibilus or Obliviate forcing it into the discard pile. This deck has many flexible spells so that creatures can be dealt with easily too. The adventures and healing spells are to give me an edge in duels and the Accio are meant to place discarded lessons back into my hand, ready to be played. Finally, if a card is needed in play, Gringotts Vault Key can help manipulate the deck for it.
I hope you can turn this deck into a superfragalisticexpialidoucus (remember that?) one!! Thanks a gazillion, Snuffles!! You RULE!!!

Yo, Hulbieƒº!ƒº!ƒº!ƒº!  Thanx for all the compliments lol!  You better watch out or this doggy is going to get a big head lol.  At any rate, I noticed a few things about your deck.  First of all, you are starting with McGonagall, but you have no Transfiguration cards!  I have always been a bigger fan of keeping your opponent's cards in play limited rather than his or her hand.  It is much easier to limit their playing ability this way then making them discard cards.  Also, you have no healing here!  A little bit of healing in this deck will make a world of difference.  And you have a lot of high costing cards, but no advancement whatsoever!  Are you planning to play 11 lessons before you get to your Obliviate!?  You're nuts!  Plus you got all those Potions cards that make you discard lessons.  This is definitely an all around good deck though.  Nice balance for a spell deck and a lot of options.  Nice Job!

Starting Character:  She is definitely one of the better options for any spell deck as there are so many anti spell adventures running around.

 

Adventures:  Great choice for your deck, Hagrid Needs Help effects all decks and hopefully does 8-11 damage. 

 

Potions:  OK, here we want to limit the amount of actions you spend playing lessons.  Malevolent Mixture is a great card, but it is going to cost you in the long run.  You end up killing two of your lessons which more than likely you will need to replace.  The same goes for Draught of Living Death.  Dogbreath Potion is still a great card and we are adding some Burning Bitterroot Balm for Healing. 

 

Charms:  Wow we have a lot of hand denial here.  Let's shift most of these over to Transfiguration cards and limit the cards they have in play instead.  This way, you don't need to worry so much about what they draw as they will be less likely to be able to play them.  I found Obliviate is a bit of a stretch for this deck even with the Wands that I added in.  10 seems about as high as you are going to get in most games.  It would be amazing in here, but like I said….  Just didn't seem to get up to 12.  And why are you playing with Vermillious instead of Stream of Flames!?!  Streams is just sweat as you can kill a creature AND do damage to your opponent.  I dig the Titillando though and the rest of your choices are nice!  If creatures are not huge in your area, replace Bluebell Flames with Stupefy, otherwise keep them in. 

 

Transfiguration:  Since you are playing with McGonagall anyway, you might as well throw in some denial.  If you get Adventures at Hogwarts in yer area, replace Lost Notes with Scribblifors.  Until that point, we will stick with Picking on Neville and Lost Notes for denial.

 

Items:  Bulgeye is just a nice card.  You don't need to lose a lesson for it and it does a whopping 13 damage.  We are adding some Dragon Heart Wands so that you can play your cards faster and we are also adding Remembrall instead of Accio.  This way, you can use an action to put a discarded lesson right into play. 

 

Lessons: Since we added Dragon Heart Wand, you will want to make sure you have 2 Charms in play, so these are adjusted just a little bit.
