Ron the Brave is obviously meant for
decks that have a lot of adventures and characters. The problem
here is that both types of cards require two actions to get out,
and both types of cards frequently have playing restrictions. For
adventures, the big hangup is you can only have one active at a
time. For characters, the main problem is the rule on unique cards.
If you add Fred & George to your deck, you can cut the cost
of getting those adventures on the table. But you can't presently
do that with characters, as the card that makes them half price
is Ron Weasley, from the base set, which you can't simultaneously
play with Ron the Brave. So any deck with RTB in it is bound to
be a little ponderous. Since other avenues of deck design look more
promising, I'd avoid spending too much time on trying to develop
a workable deck using Ron the Not-so-good.

Too bad if you have this in play,
you can't have Ron Weasley from the base set. Why? Well, he would
fit right in the lessonless decks! Get him and Fred out, and you
search your deck for all of the cards you need! But, if you use
The Leaky Cauldron with this, all I can say is have fun ;) ;D

Ron in his second incarnation is not
quite as good as the first one but not all that bad all the same
he along with Harry Triumphant combo well with Fred & George
Weasley. While it doesn't take an action to lay the character you
search for you will have to use two actions unless you are playing
the Leaky Cauldron. Even then his use is limited it would be much
better but if you could have the original Ron out but the darn unique
rule won't allow it. The braver Ron is ok if you need certain character
and an easy way to get adventures out but otherwise don't play him
as a starter and think hard before playing him as a backup character.

Ron Weasly's second card and I don't
think this card offers very much for you. Granted, he could possible
be a good backup for Fred and George, but most people are not going
to be playing that many adventures and characters so that this would
come in useful. Yes he might let you get that Pomfrey you need to
heal but at what cost. I wouldn't advise using this character, stick
w/ the old Ron, he has a some tricky decks that could easily frighten
your opponent.

To be Frank, ok…Ron, you have
to expose your combo early. You have to show your opponent your
character that you are combo-ing with that adventure. This kind
of makes things obvious for your opponent to know how to handle
the situation. Now if you are holding the right character you can
go get a decoy character and trick your opponent. But let's face
it, HP TCG is too fast a game to hope for these conditions. Ron
the Brave might be good in conjunction with Fred & George and
the Leaky Cauldron, but this is not a convention. We are not going
to draw all those cards that easily. So forget the Brave for now
and hope for a better use in the future.

Ron the brave kinda made me sad when
i saw him. He could combo well with Fred and George Weasley though.
Start out with this guy and play an adventure to get Fred and George.
Play Fred and George and then next turn you can start laying out
characters and adventures like a madman. Play with some potions
and go for Leaky Cauldron. Let's talk about crazy!!! That deck would
be Crazy!!!!! And if Snuffles likes one thing most, he loooooooooooooovvvvveeeessss
crazy. Once again this is a character that i would not completely
cut out of competitive decks, but the ones you see him in will be
very few and in between. they will also take forever to fine tune.
I love decks like this, but I also like to win sometimes :)
