Hey there everyone.

     As long as this game's been goin on, one of the most popular decks to 

play has been the CMC/T/CH beatdown deck. This deck has had many styles and 

forms, but it almost always starts with either Flitwick or McGonagall. But 

which is right for your deck?

     I think overall, Flitwick is better, because McGonagall has made 

herself weaker. Since everyone plays McGonagall, adventures are not played 

very frequently anymore. So usually you don't even use McGonagall's ability. 

And any adventures that don't affect spells can be removed with Picking on 

Neville, Scribblifors, Diffindo, etc. Flitwick on the other hand, becomes 

stronger with each new charms card. You can use his ability to get back the 

stream of flames or bewitched snowballs to kill a creat, the halloween feast 

to keep recycling your creats, or if you're not gettin lessons you can get 

back the borrowed wand you need. Flitwick's ability is useful almost every 

game. However, each deck is unique, so of course you have to decide which 

character to use.

     For low cost creat decks, I think Flitwick is better because they 

concentrate more on quantity of creats rather than high attack. Halloween 

Feast is important in these decks to keep the damage flowing. So I would use 

Flitwick here.

     More high cost, high power creature decks should use McGonagall because 

then you would be playing CMC and CH lessons rather than CMC and T. This is 

important because with CH you can use Dragon Heart Wand or Wand Shop to get 

up to the power you need for Hebridean, Giant Squid, Welsh Dragon, etc.

     OK I think that's enough rambling for now. If you haven't joined the 

Apprentice League yet, you should. K Cyalls Later
