If you've ever lost a game because
your opponent put down an adventure that completely hosed you, then
you should appreciate the value of Argus Filch. Adventures in the
HP card game are powerful and strongly game altering. To have some
sort of protection against them is usually a good idea. In many
cases, McGonagall fills this duty. However, there are times when
people want variety, and wish to play with some starter other than
the best one. That's the time that Filch can step into that protective
role. My main problem with him is that he's not a wizard. I wouldn't
want him as a starter, but it would have been nice if we were able
to have fetched him with a Chocolate Frogs.Given that his ability
is purely defensive, and not applicable against all decks, it would
be unwise to place more than one in any deck design you make.

The man, the myth, the Legend, Argus
Filch has been sent to us as a god send. Now I know what you're
thinking everyone doesn't play adventures oh well well, where have
you been. Almost everyone is running adventures these days and some
are even running characters too, to devastating effects. So with
all those Adventures floating around out there what can you do?
Filch is the man for the job. I'd consider putting two of these
into your deck just in case you need to be able to solve adventures,
You can solve any adventure for one action even Through the Arch,
thats a major bonus. Granted Filch couldn't be used as a starter
and granted your opponent might not be playing adventures, but in
this day and age are you really willing to take the chance

Argus Filch, the caretaker of the
castle, is nosey sneaky and untrustworthy. That is why I think he
is one staff member that's nice to have in your deck. Keep in mind
your only need one. There are a couple adventures that he won't
work against, but he sure helps you cut your losses. Filch has got
his hands in a rope bind when it comes to Letters From No One and
all the adventures that do something before a players turn will
still have to take that effect the first turn out. Fred and George
and not happy with him for taking away their adventures and their
map. But if you had to get on Fred and George's bad side, you'll
be glad Filch is playing in you deck.

Argus Filch is cool and lives up to
his annoying nature in the card game.
One action for any adventure except for Letters From No One and
that bad boy
is gone. Poor Fred and George don't stand a chance. Adventures are
becoming a little more common nowadays as not everyone is playing
with
McGonagall. This is another of those risk cards in that he only
works
against adventures. However, i do not think it would be a waste
to have him
in your deck. If you fall upon a heavy adventure deck you just might
find
yourself wishing you had put him in there.

This guy is a real downer. He is always
raining on Fred and George's parade and not only in the books. I
really wish this guy hadn't been made this good. Fred and George
adventure decks weren't that shabby in the days of Diagon Alley
with only the all powerful Professor McGonagall that could stop
the likes of 4 Privet Drive and Through The Arch now he almost brings
adventure decks to a halt. He would have been much more balanced
if it took two actions to discard an adventure or one action and
some damage. While he would never be a good starter besides the
fact that he can't be one he is a very good secondary character
with the ever growing presence of character decks that utilize adventures
this guy can help grind them to a halt or if you play all spells
and you are getting tired of Through the Arch and 4 Privet Drive
bringing you down this is the goto guy. This guy is really good
and maybe IMO a little to good. Good thing he can't be a starter.
