Compare this card to Malevolent Mixture, which deals 10 damage and has a
casting cost of 5, and Draught of the Living Death, which inflicts 12 damage, and
has a casting cost of 8. This card sits in the middle, between them, and is thus
likely to be inferior to the Draught if you are emphasizing damage, and to the
Mixture, if you are focusing on ease of casting. In fact, in decks where I'd like
both, I'd probably opt for Draughts and Mixtures, and none of these. That's
because if I have 8 lessons out and a Draught and Mixture in hand, I can smack
my opponent for a likely game-ending 22 points of damage. I can't work that
trick with two Dragon Bloods, unless I have 9 lessons out. Having said that, the
cards I am comparing this to are pretty good (all three can kill every creature in
the game except Fluffy). Dragon's Blood is close enough to both alternatives to
be an adequate substitution for either, if your collection is limited.

If you're a fan of Draught of Living Death and Malovent Mixture then this
card is for you. Granted all three of this cards require you to discard TWO
potions lessons, but you'd have to be silly not to be playing these cards
without Potions Dungeon. Now Granted you Might spend an insane about time
with readvancing your lessons by this scheme, but just think if you got down
one of each type of these cards, thats 33 damage in two cards. More then
likely if you play another one, they'd be toast. I for one hate discarding
lessons to play cards but sometimes, the benefits of such endeavors can be very fruitful.

Ah yes, bigger than a Malevolent Mixture yet smaller than a Draught of Living Death. If 4
MMs and DoLDs weren't enough for you, you're in luck! Pure Potions decks that use these major
damage cards usually run Potions Dungeon and Hermoine to recycle lost lessons. Very good and
simple combo to pull off. In other decks, I'd suggest the other major damage cards thou..
MavMix being my personal fav. ;')

Ahh yes, Draught of Living Death's little brother. I tell you what Big
Bang card I like. Bulgeye Potion. It costs ten and yes it is two actions
for 13 Damage, but think about it folx, all these lessons you are burning are
used up actions unless you don't intend to replenish them. This might fit
in with Hermione Granger and Potions Dungeon pretty well though. The
problem is Denial is at a big time high nowadays and you can't expect your
locations to stick around. Or at least you can't rely on them to. Pretty much,
its another big bang for potions. I'm still a fan of the old fashioned
Dogbreath Potion. Only kills one potion and does 8 damage for six
power. But hey! The more damage the better, so if ya dig it, go to town.
