This card is cheap to cast, but its ability to look at an opponent's hand
is of rather minimal benefit. It's only worth playing in combination with
Beetle Eyes and Bulgeye Potion. Since all of these are items, the new
Draco, is usually called upon as the starter. The overall combo inflicts
17 points of item damage to your opponent. This is an important point
in thwarting various decks that rely on adventures to shut down the
opposing deck's creatures and spells. The problem with this combo is
that it takes an action to play Beetle and Eel, another action to use them
to get Bulgeye, and a 4th action to use Bulgeye. This is more than can
be typically done in a turn, even with the new Draco running the action.
Thus, often this card or Beetle Eye is put out on one turn, and the rest
of the combo is applied on a subsequent turn. Since Eel Eye is the only
part of the combo that does not deal damage, it is the "weak link" of
the trio.

Eel Eyes is a pretty cool card. You get to check your opponents hand at the
beginning of the game if you get it in your hand at the starting! This could
prepare you for what type of deck your opponent is running. You would know
if you had to save the Stream of Flames for something like Norbert instead
of Boa Constrictor! If you draw Beetle Eyes with this...well...13 damage
without a discard just rocks. :D In my opinion, Draco Malfoy, Slytherin was
made for this combo. On it's own, Eel Eyes is an ok card...but if you
combine it with Beetle Eyes, your opponent will feel its wrath!

Draco Malfoy, Slytherin makes this card worthy of honorable mention
considering it is the first part of the great EyeBall combo. Getting a peek
at your opponents hand in your first turn can also allow you time to prepare
for what kind of defense will be needed. If it wasn't for the fact that it
can be played in the first turn I would probably have rated it as a 1, but
since it can...

Boil, Boil, Toil and Trouble. Eye of Newt and Cauldron Bubble. I wouldn't
really suggest playing with this card unless you were going for the Bulgeye
Combo. It can be extremely useful to see your opponent's hand. And if
playing this with the new Draco, it might be a nice way to gain an extra
action. Yet, i feel that there are probably other items you might want to
put in. Good ones for potions include Potion Ingredients, Magical Drafts
and Potions, Cauldrons, etc. etc. This card by itself is not
Supercalafragalisticexpealadocious, but with the Bulgeye Combo, it is Dum
Dili I, Dum Dum Dili I! and yes that's a good thing!

Hmm, 1 potions lesson to play this card and you get to see your
opponent's hand. Very Sweet. But it only goes well with Beatle Eyes and
Bulgeye Potion Draco Malfoy, Slytherin decks. Good card nonetheless just to
see your opponents' hand is good but only in item heavy decks.
