I really like the idea of creatures
that do damage as you play them. WOTC borrowed this concept from
other games. I'm not as fond of the lesson discard aspect, however.
It's natural to compare Fang to the Black Dragon, which has the
same cost. Fang is a little tougher to kill. I've had people double-Streams
my dragons before, and Fang shrugs off that kind of thing. If you
expect your opponent might blast your creature right away, then
Fang is better, as he gets in at least one bite all the time. But
if that's the case, then why are you even bothering to play a lesson
discard creature? A Mountain Troll is a better offering when your
foe seems prepared to deal with your monsters. Fang and the Black
Dragon are very comparable, although I prefer the latter ever so
slightly. If you decide to include Fang in a deck, I strongly suggest
only putting one in. That's because he's unique, and the second
copy you draw will sit in your hand if the other one is already
out. Some unique creatures (Hedwig) have special abilities that
are so good that they compensate for this added risk and are still
worth having multiple copies in your deck. In the case of Fang,
he's not distinctive enough from the alternatives to warrant that.

Fang is a fun creature and comes packed
with 7 health. However, only dealing 4 damage and being UNIQUE,
would make Mountain Troll a better choice. It is easier to put out
more than Mountain Troll than to discard a COMC and come up with
only one 4 damage creature to show for it. I feel it is great to
finally get Fang in the HP TCG like his other counter parts like
Norbert, Scabbers, Hedwig, and others. But he just isn't as strong
as he should have been.

The loveable pet of Hagrid finally
makes his entrance to the world of HPTCG, and I must say its not
as great as one could hope. Yeah he does 4 damage when he enters
the game, but he also costs you a CMC lesson, which the Mountain
Troll does not. Now the troll at 4/4 is a gamer, and Fang at 4/7
can do some damage, but the Hebridean Black Dragon at 7/5, is the
deadlier foe at the exact same cost as Fang. Now Fang gives you
another hard hitting creature, but I would advise you to consider
using other creatures like the Troll and Dragon, who can do either
the same amout of damage or much more damage. I'm sure they'll hit
harder, and you'll like the way they do battle.

Heh.. this is like a third of the
three headed Fluffy. Interesting..
This is like a sort of "first strike" card. As soon as it comes
into play, it takes a bite out of your opponent's deck. It does
as much damage as Mountain Troll for as much power, but you need
to discard a lesson to accomidate its bigger health and "first strike"
power. ;') Not a bad deal, and even better with Hagrid's House.
The bad part would be that you can only have 1 Fang in play.

Who let the dog out?!?!? WOOF! WOOF!
WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! Fang is one serious ouchy. For the same price
as a mountain troll, you get 3 more health, and four damage right
away. sure you lose a care of magical creatures lesson, but it's
worth it for Fang. Heck, don't even worry about it and go with hagrid's
house. Fang might be a coward, but i'd pick him for my team any
day.
