Hey Profpoke, hpce here!
I've been using a new deck and so far its 10-5, I usually lose to decks
that focus on swarms of creatures, and you're the best man I know for this
kind of stuff so I thought you could help. Here's the deck, I call it
A Stranger in a Strange Place.
Starter: Prof. Minerva McGonagall
Allies: (3)
1- Flitwick
1- Abbot
1- Hagrid
Adventures: (4)
2- Hagrid Needs Help
2- 4 Privet Drive
Items: (1)
1- Borrowed Wand
Creatures: (15)
1- Cunning Fox
3- Boa Constrictor
2- Mt. Troll
3- Unicorn
1- Kelpie
1- Trevor
4- Vicious Wolf
Spells: (17)
3- Diffindo
2- Bluebell Flames
4- Vermillious
4- Steelclaw
4- Stream of Flames
Lessons: (20)
10- Care of Magical Creatures
10- Charms
Now basically the focus of damage is creatures, and my charms are in
there to stop other creatures from getting me too bad. If I play all spell
decks I usually win, but if I play decks that focuses on getting tons of the
smaller creatures out really quick I go down fast, or if its a deck that uses
Hermione to get lots of lessons and play the big daddy's like Fluffy I
usually lose. It has a winning record but needs a good amount of help
so do what ya can! =)

Howdy hpce! Your deck looks pretty well for
it’s record. Let’s see what I can do for it to be better. :)
Characters:
+1 Hannah Abbott
-1 Flitwick
McGonagall
is a good starter and provides power too. Flitwick trades two cards for 1 charm
card back, while Hannah trades two cards for any two non-healing cards back.
You already have charms lessons so you don’t absolutely NEED Flitwick’s power.
Adventures:
+2 In the Stands
-2 Hagrid Needs Help
As
much as I hate to take out HNH, In the Stands is a better solution to your
problem. If you think you can fit both, go right ahead.
Creatures:
+1 Trevor
+3 Baby Dragon
+2 Cunning Fox
-1 Unicorn
-3 Boa Constrictor
-1 Vicious Wolf
-1 Kelpie
Kelpie
kills one of your precious lessons, but Trevor gets them back. Kelpie’s damage
isn’t going to be helped by Hagrid either, so trade him out for Trevor. Baby
Dragon and Fox are swift and get Hagrid’s bonus. Two Unicorns is good enough
for this deck. Boas would be more playable if Forbidden Forest was in this
deck, but it isn’t so these go too. Cut a wolf for some room.
Spells
& Items:
+1 Borrowed
Wand
+2 Raven
to Writing Desk
+3 Incarcifors
-1 Diffindo
-4
Vermillous
-2 Bluebell
Flames
Increase your wand count so you have better chances of drawing it. Since your problem is swarm decks (tons of small creatures) Writing Desk is ideal in this situation and it’s cheap. Incacifors are for later in the game when you run across bigger creatures, *cough*Fluffy*cough* Diffindo usually won’t be play early, but you can still use it if you have to kill of your opponent’s Hagrid if he plays it first. Bluebell Flames is vedy lame. =/ Vermillious is good, but stick with SoF’s for the most part.
Lessons:
+1 CMC Lesson
Increase your CMC lessons count just a tad to
be able to support your discarding needs.
