SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE     SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE

 

Heya Fend!  Nice lookin deck! I think I know right off a couple problems you might be having.  Well lets see…. lots of stuff that costs ten and only pewter cauldrons for advancement.  That’s one heck of a climb if your opponent is playing creatures.  By that time, I don't think you'll have a chance to catch up. So, what we can do is go one of two directions.  A. add some more power acceleration which would take away other vital cards.  B. ditch the tens and go for more reasonably cast cards.  so…. heres what we are going to do….. we gonna make two decks…. one with each style…. hopefully these will work out better for you.   OH! and we need a name!  hmmm….. controlling creatures with potions…. hmmmm….. lets call it….  Hungry for creature stew. 


Starting Character:
1 Prof. Minerva McGonagall

 

(She lets you play straight potions lessons which is always a nice advantage with any potions deck and she gets rid of one of those pesky adventures)

 

Characters:

2 Hannah Abbott (+2)

3 Seamus Finnigan (+3)

 

(Hannah is just great… no ifs ands or buts about her…. what's that, two creatures on the board and all you got is potions in your hand????? Hannah to the rescue!!!!  Seamus will help you in another way, he helps you advance while getting rid of the cards you don’t need in your hand…. what's that??? they're not playing creatures??? Seamus to the rescue!!!)  he also works great in general, his price is a bit high, but I think its worth it.  Being able to do multiple actions always comes in handy with potions cuz you want to do as much damage as you can quick.  if he's not working out for you, consider platform 9 and ¾.)


Lessons:
21 Potions

 

(This deck seems a little slow on the uptake, try some non ladders for a bit and see how you feel about it… I know I am supposed to do the meching here, but try to pay attention to what cards you don't use or don't come in handy as often…. I'd like to see one or two more potions lessons, but sometimes it kicks just fine, and sometimes it's a wee bit slow… once you get a pewter or two out, you should be fine, but if that's too long of a haul, you need to take a look at this.)


Transfiguration:
4 Take Root
4 Incarcifors
0 Winged Keys
(-2)
0 Transfiguration Exam 
(-2)
0 Apparate (-2)
4 Diffindo

 

(Tens are out, tens bad!!!!   Apparates go out cuz you got Mcgonnagal and diffindo.)


Potions:
0 Draught of Living Death (-3)
4 Dogbreath Potion
2 Hospital Wing
(-2)

4 Burning Bitterroot Balm (+1)

3 Weakness Potion (+3)

 

(Draught goes out, weakness comes in, the way this deck seems to play, you need your potions lessons, wekness will also help you stall against creatures.  What steelclaw???)


Items:
4 Pewter Cauldron

2 Remembrall (+2)

 

(Healing without the lessons has such a great advantage, letting you stack your deck even better with hurt you cards, thus we put in a couple remembrall's)


Adventures:

3 Troll in the Bathroom (+3)

3 Gaze into the Mirror  (-3)

 

(The problem with any pure spell deck is the need for constant damage, here's where the troll steps in.  Most people may never bother to solve this adventure because they don't have the cards, but if they do, you take four damage…. that's tempting, but in the long run, it’s better than the seven cards they just discarded to get rid of it.)

 

 

OK.  Hopefully that will work better for you…. onto the second version!!!

 

SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE     SNUFFLES TOTAL TWEAKAGE

 


Starting Character:
1 Prof. Minerva McGonagall

 

Lessons:
12 Potions (-9)

9 charms   (+9)

 

(We are adding charms to help you advance your lessons and we will get some nice cards to add to the deck for this reason as well.)


Transfiguration:
0 Take Root (-4)
3 Incarcifors (-1)
2 Winged Keys
2 Transfiguration Exam
2 Apparate
(-2)
3 Diffindo

3 Vanish (+3)

 

(Vanish???? well one of the strongest cards running around nowadays is halloween feast, vanish a creature and they can't choose it.  It does heal, but for only one card and  most people will probably never see it again.  I think the name suits the card nicely… J  We are trimming down a little on the kill creature cards…. diffindo is great, but since were adding winged keys, t exam, and a couple charms spells, there is quite a bit of control in that area.)


Potions:
0 Draught of Living Death (-3)
4 Dogbreath Potion
0 Hospital Wing
(-4)

4 Burning Bitterroot Balm (+1)

 

(Losing some healing, but gaining some damage and power cards)

 

Charms:

2 Obliviate (+2)

3 Titillando  (+3)

4 Stream of Flames (+4)

(Stream of flames is nice creature damage…. usually kills a creature and hurts your opponent a little….. Titillando has the same effect on their hand…. Obliviate is just nasty especially a nice surprise after a halloween feast or if you get their quick, which with this deck you should be able to do, it’s a pain to have to rebuild your hand.)

 

Items:
3 Pewter Cauldron
(-1)

3 Borrowed Wand (+3)

2 Phoenix Feather Wand (+2)

(ok, here's the deal…. hopefully you get one if not two early boosts to your power this will help you out until you get to the big guns.   lots of times, your second turn will be borrowed wand, puter cauldron…. this puts you up to seven… that means most of your kill creature stuff is on deck and ready to be shot.)

 

Adventures:

0 Gaze into the Mirror (-3)
