ProfPoke --
 
You'll find attached the file that contains my working version of the
Hogwarts Staff deck. The main principle behind this is to play to the
strengths of the faculty members at the school. (i.e., Profs. Flitwick
and Snape, plus Hagrid.)
 
I'll also provide a text reconstruction as best I can, but the file is
accurate as of 8/17/01.
 
Starting Character:
Prof. Flitwick
 
Supporting Characters:
1 x Prof. Snape
1 x Hagrid
 
Adventures
1 x Unusual Pets
2 x 4 Privet Drive
 
Lessons:
11 x Potions
11 x Care of Magical Creatures
 
Creatures:
2 x Vicious Wolf
2 x Mountain Troll
2 x Baby Dragon
 
Charms:
4 x Wingardium Leviosa!
4 x Bluebell Flames
3 x Stupefy
4 x Vermillious
4 x Baubillious
 
Potions:
2 x Foul Brew
2 x Hospital Wing
4 x Noxious Potion
 
Check the list against the file before starting the tune-up, but I 
think
it's accurate - if not, it's pretty close.
 
Thanks for your help!

Hey JD! Thanks for sending the DEC file in with your request! It saves me time on building the deck myself. =D Let’s see how I’m gona fix this one today… ;)

Characters:

+1 Rubeus Hagrid

Let’s make your starter Snape. This way you will always have at least one card able to heal and you can limit the potion cards down to non-discarding healers. Basically we’ll just exchange all the Potion lessons for Charms lessons. Add an extra Hagrid to increase your chances of getting him before your opponent does. ;)

Creatures:

+1 Baby Dragons

+1 Vicious Wolves

+2 Guard Dogs

Baby Dragons are fast, and more wolves and dogs are good too. When we add wands later, they’ll help you get these ‘puppies’ out faster. ;P

Adventures:

If this is enough Adventures for you, it’ll work for me too. You got the basics and can heal them back when they get discarded.

Spells:

+2 Dragon Heart Wand

+4 Snape's Question

+3 Pomfrey's Pick-Me-Up

+3 Boil Cure

-4 Wingardium Leviosa!

-2 Bluebell Flames

-1 Vermillious

-2 Baubillious

-2 Foul Brew

-2 Hospital Wing

-4 Noxious Potion

Dragon Heart wand should be easy enough to get out and will help tremendously for paying high cost spells and creatures. Snape’s Questions are the best and easiest potion damage cards, IMHO. The pick-me-ups and cures are your healing cards along with Snape. That should be good enough without needing potion lessons.

We’ll drop the Leviosas since Vermillious and all the other creature damage dealing ones can take care of creatures for you. Bluebell Flames is too expensive to have four. Drop a Vermillious. Pick-me-ups have the Baubillious ability, so drop about two. Foul Brews are kinda lame. Hospital Wing and Noxious Potion are great, but not if we plan on no Potion lessons.

Lessons:

+1 CMC

+10 Charms

-11 Potions

Trade out all the Potions for Charms to compensate for switching Starters earlier. Then trade a Charms for a CMC and you’d be all set and ready to go. (^_^)
