I casually dismissed this card the first time I saw it. Six damage for a spell
needing seven lessons seemed unremarkable. Although I like the idea of
being able to nail an opposing item, at this level of lessons required I felt
I should be able to get that and the damage, not or the damage. Well, if
I want to do that, I can play quidditch and use Bludger in the Stands. This
is a potions card, and is expected to have a different set of strengths and
weaknesses. One potion strength is to deal out a lot of damage, and this
card does a fairly decent job, as it administers six. Although it doesn't pack
quite the punch of a Malevolent Mixture or Draught of the Living Death, it
also doesn't require the lesson discard that they do either. That means this
makes a decent set-up card for the later big boys. Think of this as a role
player and not the main star, and you'll hopefully appreciate more what it
can do for you.

Items causing you trouble? This card is the answer. Your opponent has no
items? This card is still the answer! And, your Potions lessons stay
untouched! Multiple choices with cards is good, and the fact it can be a
Potion damager without discard is even better! In stall decks, this card is
sweet. Your opponent got out a Wand and you don't have a Potions Exam ready?
Well, play this, and your opponent's wand is gone! Hehe, you gotta love
options. ;)

Now this is a rather nice card. It is dual purpose (I am a big fan of
dual purpose cards) you can either kill off one of their items or do 6
damage to them. It is also very cost effective 6 damage for 7 power is
in the league of most charms spells with similar effects. Plus there
is the big bonus it doesn’t require a discard! Play this card in your
potions decks it will most likely help you out it has help me many a
time.

This card is an often underutilized card but it works well in potion decks
that you don't need to discard in. I've seen very good PCD/Obliviate Decks
incorporate this card into their decks. Its the primary cause of damage
and lets you use Snape as your starter, while you use charms and wand shop.
Throw in some Bulgeye Potions and some other important cards and you got a
pretty formidable deck. This card is a good card that just doesn't get that
much respect.

Good way to take "care" of pesky items, and if need be, go in for the kill.
Some items that help your opponent too much, or put you at risk, are definatly
worth saving this guy for, but if you find out that your opponent hasn't discovered
the wonders that are items, you wouldn't need to use the item denial part, so doing
6 damage ain't to shabby, considering most other Potion cards that do damage require
some sort of discard.

6 damage from Potions and no lesson loss! Downside is that it has to go to
your opponent. Plus it is variable. You can crunch that Sickle your
opponent just played or get rid of that Silver Unicron Horn they haven't
discarded yet. There are definitely some nasty items out there and this is
a great way to get rid of them. Fits in great with those Potions Class
Disaster Decks and the like. Overall, i prefer the big booms for potions.
But if your starter is Snape or you have limited potions lessons, this is a
great option.

Ok. Easy one. This card pretty much rocks. Not many potion
spells do damage without having to throw away potions, and this
one does 7...not to mention...being able to discard an item
instead if you want to! I'll give this one a pretty 4.0 - 4.5
depending on if you are also playing with transfiguration.
