Hi there MadEye.I've played arond with this deck with moderate success, I
like the improvements you make to decks and I also want an experts opinion.
I would prefer to maintain a potion/creature theme throughout the deck.

//DECK NAME: Snape's Slime Shooter

// main character
1 Professor Severus Snape
// Ally Character
1 Hermione Granger
// Spells
3 Boil Cure
2 Bruiswort Balm
2 Dungbomb
2 Foul Brew
1 Hospital Wing
3 Jawbind Potion
2 Noxious Potion
3 Snape's Question
2 Shrinking Potion
// Creatures
2 Doxy
2 Fluffy
2 Kelpie
2 Pet Toad
// Items
2 Cage
1 Gold Cauldron
1 Silver Cauldron
// Adventures
1 Unusual Pets
2 4 Privet Drive
// Lessons
10 Care of Magical Creatures
14 Potions

The idea behind this deck is to get the potions down early, use spells to
cause damage and creatures/adventures to prevent damage. Then when enough
lessons are on the table, put the 2 fluffy's into action and if that doesnt
finish them off, use the healing cards to bring the damaging spells back
into play.....Thats the theory anyway and with your assistance I believe a
deck can be made to play like this :)

Thanks

=====================================

Matt thanks first thing for the .dec file. It make’s it much easier to do this. Good deck idea, let’s see if we can sharpen it up a bit.

 

CHARACTERS

Let me put it this way, if Hermione doesn’t start she isn’t worth playing normally. It take you 2 actions to play her and then you have to have 2 ‘lessons’ down to start with before she can use her ability. You could have played 2 lessons in the time it was to get her down. Let your items do the hard work for you. In your deck you will get to 5 just as fast without her.

 

LESSONS

I feel you would draw better on a slightly different split. 9 comc and 15 potions will work out better for you actually.

 

ITEMS

To get your power to 10, I think the kind of metal you are really looking for is, pewter, and 4 would be nice. Those others are not that helpful early on. And early on is where your deck needs help the most.

 

CREATURES

Kelpie is too expensive for your deck. Fluffy says UNIQUE, so only one out at a time, but 2 should be good here. I like the Pet Toad idea, but Trevor rules and since you only have 2 Pet Toads anyway, it is not that often that you will get them both out at the same time too often. You use Trevor to get a lost lesson. It will help. Replace Kelpie with Streeler. He doesn’t seem like much but many other creatures hate him. Doxy and Streeler need to be 3 each also.

 

SPELLS

Let’s do healing first. Bruiswort Balm for 4 and burn the rest. You have Snape so you have 5 healers that should take care of you.

 

Nice Dungbomb and Shrinking spread, but lets add 1 each more. We need to replace Noxious with Dogbreath and make it 4 of those. Snape’s Question and Foul Brew need to be gone and let’s put in one more Jawbind, to protect your Fluffy and a couple of MMixtures.

 

ADVENTURES

Since most creature decks do have Prof McGonagall. It isn’t even worth 4 actions to get one adventure out. So these are gone.

 

In the beginning you stated that you wanted to keep the potion/creature deck idea alive, so that is what we have done. I tried to make your deck fairly defensive against creature decks and still strong against spell decks. This isn’t my favorite combo without Transfigurations in it, but this will definitely play better this way. It may look like your entire deck has changed, but most of the changes are just slightly different from what your original intentions were. Good Luck and keep your eye out for any spirited brooms. PEACE FOR NOW!
