Items are much more common than they used to be, so there is a very good
chance that you'll be able to pick off an opposing item of your choice and
then add insult to injury by grabbing the next item you'll need from your own
deck. For only a 4 lesson casting cost, this is such a good value that it almost
feels like stealing. The worth of this card drops considerably if you have to
zap your own item to do the deck search. I suppose you could use this to
trade in your early Comet 260 for a later Nimbus 2000 broom in your Hooch
deck. Assuming you're not looking to combo with Eel Eyes, you can also
painlessly discard any Beetle Eyes you've already played. Most likely, you'd
have to get rid of a minor item such as a book, if your opponent is not being
nice and presenting you with his own targets. Despite the risk inherent in this
card, the upside potential is strong and it is usually well worth including.

The Switching Spell to me could be looked at in two ways, its either a
Lapifors for Items, or it ranks somewhere between Smash! and Lost Notes. So
lets look at the benefit of both those strategies. Today most people are
playing with at least one item in their deck or maybe more. The ability to
get rid of their lesson advancement items can be vital to the success of
your deck. This card allows you to get rid of their advancement by helping
advance yours. In essence being able to go into your deck and pick out a
card can be a very damaging thing, especially if you're playing with Draco
Malfoy Slytherin and you're going into your deck for a Bulgeye Potion or
Moonseed Poison. But at the end of the day, most denial is good denial.

Great for picking off your opponent's favorite items... especially if they're providing power,
or have an effect that they havn't used yet. Then you get to look for the item that you need.
And if it comes down to it, you could always discard one of your own items to get the item
you really need out of your deck.

Almost everyone is playing with some sort of item these days. Borrowed Wand
is still in almost every creature deck. Draco Sly is a powerful Starter.
Imagine your opponent just got his Bulgeye Potion out but can not use it
yet..... You switch it for your whatever you want.... Effectively this
card is a combination of a Squiggle Quill and an Almost But Not Quite Nearly
Headless Nick. Tutoring is always great especially if you have some items
in your deck. I would say in general that if you play with more than one
item in your deck, this is a good card. Still, there are those decks that
don't use any items. I think these are getting rarer and rarer nowadays
though. Power advancement equals speed and everyone likes speed. I wouldnt
stock your deck with these, but 2 or 3 couldn't hoit!
