Hey! This card doesn't cause any damage!
How am I supposed to get full value from my Nimbus 2000, if it doesn't
deal at least one point? It's just not right, I tell you. Quidditch
should be all about damage and a neat effect added on to boot. Instead,
this card gives you two neat effects, but no damage. It's unfortunate
that your opponent gets to choose which cards to discard, but when
you figure that this card costs you two actions to play and draw,
and removes three actions worth of cards from your opponent, then
you'll see that this is a good deal. The casting cost isn't all
that bad either. If you combine this with other similar spells (Cobbing,
Lost Notes, Picking on Neville), your match partner will find themselves
faced with some difficult choices. I prefer Cobbing over this, but
the Bop is a decent supplement to any deck that already relies on
Cobbing.

Could the title of this song be the
next new dance craze? Maybe not, but it is a Transfiguration card
in the Quidditch realm. Now that is impressive. As per our PoJo
Harry Potter Poll, we know the Quidditch is the favorite lesson
type among players. Now, they are adding this to the works…the
other lesson types are never going to stand a chance are they? I
like that this is a denial card that effects both places at once….
first the table play and then the hand. SO what combo am I thinking
of? It depends on the cards they discard first. I like this card
played first and wherever they discard and make them selves slightly
vulnerable you can follow up with either Cobbing or Bludger in the
Stands. Either way it is getting rid of two cards on one turn. I
even like this better than the Biased Commentary followed by one
of those 2. The reason is simple, 2 cards discarded from in play
can damage most hands enough to make them have to play catch up
the rest of the game. Then the rest of the game you do the old denial
then damage routine. It will take them 2 turns to get back to full
strength again. This is of course pending on whether they have enough
cards in their hand to catch up and whether or not they have used
up Characters in play. Regardless, I think it is a nice addition
to the Quiddich Spell repertoire.

Oh how fabulous, its quidditch week,
I am so excited. Being an expert quidditch player in my youth, scratch
that, I'm still young and good looking. So anyways, lets look at
Bludger Bop, we're talking 6 quidditch power, and you get the effects
of two cards Ouch! and Cobbing! witout the damage though. That doesn't
sound very good at all. Personally I would play a Cobbing way before
this card. Now the reason this card could be good is that you get
to discard one of your opponents cards from play, you get this from
a non-transfiguration lesson type which is always nice. The bad
news is that your opponent gets to pick. I really don't recomment
this card unless you have to denial scheme, I mean this could really
work well with other denial cards if you're trying to get cards
out from play, maybe you could play hut on the rock, and then the
next turn a bludger bop and a cobbing, thats three cards they just
lost from play, and your only at 7 power. Sounds kinda nice to me.
As always, every card has a strategy, you just need to try and exploit
it.

This card fits in great with those
straight denial decks. However if denying your opponent's cards
is not your main goal, there are a lot of better options for quidditch
at six and below. Bludger in the Stands, Ouch!, Fouled!, Quick Thinking,
Pulling Up, and just at seven is Cobbing and Bucking Broomstick.
Let's just put it this way.... There are sooooooo many other good
options that do damage at this level of power that fitting it in
is almost a chore. And Quid/Charms is at an all time high-flying
popularity, so those high costing spells are played also. But, if
you just stick to denial by sliding in some charms, this card can
be a plague to your opponent. Oh and if Wizards is watching this,
howabout some better names for these cards, yo!?!!? heh just kiddin...
