During one turn, you get one draw
and two actions. Since most cards in the game require one action
to play, you should eventually see your hand size decreaseuntil
you have to use actions to draw more cards. Cards that give you
a built-in draw avoid this problem, allowing you to reserve your
actions for development and putting out threats to your opponent.
You do take a "virtual" point of damage for the bonus
draw, but a moderate amount of that to avoid taking actions to draw
is a good thing. So the underlying mechanic is OK. How about the
card itself? The effect is to deal 2 points of damage to a player.
I can visualize some people placing this card into a super fast
deck that spews out cards right from the start. But I've yet to
see any such deck win consistently. The problem is the effect just
isn't significant enough. Playing with such "light-weight"
effects tend to give your deck an early lead, which dissipates,
getting you stomped on in the later stages of the game. Liquorice
Wand sounds like something decent to snack on, but I wouldn't want
to play with it.

I like this card...you do 2 damage,
and get a free draw! But...only to your opponent. Heard of a card
called Rope Bind? 2 damage to opponent/creature, and you get a free
draw. But, this is a Candy Card, and I have a feeling we'll be seeing
an Item or something that helps these kinds of cards coming along
soon. Also, this card may have some play with beginners, but I would
advise Rope Bind instead.

Speed spell decks and Quidditch/Charms
decks will like this card. it is a first play card. I realize 2
damage is not that much, but if you get to draw a card anyway, why
not take a shot at discarding the one card they have that could
heal them or ridding that character card that destroys your entire
deck. The other great thing about this card's effect is it gives
you a first-play look into what kind of deck you are up against.
It may help you decide which lesson type you need to build faster
or allow you to start thinking what strategy to use before they
even get cards down.

To me, the Liqourice Wand Appears
as a cheaper Rope Bind. Although Rope Bind you get to hit a creature
or your opponent, with this card you get to hit your opponent lower.
Now I know two damage isn't that much damage, but you also get to
draw, and sometimes getting to draw a card is a very important endeavor,
its like you don't have anything to play so you're going to draw
a card, so why not play this, do two damage and draw a card. Now
I know this card is a little weak, but alot of week spells and some
denial can stop your big lumbersome opponent before he's able to
get out his heavy hitters so beware, damage is damage, even if you're
doing it one damage point at a time.

Liquorice Wand is not bad at all.
1 power for 2 damage AND you draw a card! This card packs a punch
for it's cost, but it is not the most powerful of cards. Maybe in
a quick damage deck, this could prove useful. Other than that, go
for Bewitched Snowballs or Toe Biter! They are better an their names
are more fun!

Mmmmm licorice! This card has a very
VERY good cost/effect ratio. For one power do 2 damage and draw
a card! That's a 3 for 1! But tell me, why would anybody want to
do so quick and little damage. It can also help your opponent to
get the cards he needs for his discard pile. On a bigger basis,
this card would be too good but what we have here it is reasonable
and not enough to be commonly used. Blue Wig is bigger but you don't
get as much for the cost you reach. It is still a better alternative...
