I have to use an action *and* discard this creature to get my Potions lesson
back? No thanks! We'll have to evaluate the worth of this based on the merits
of its other abilities, since that particular one is rarely (if ever) going to be
played. Looking further, it has an attack of 2 and a health of 1, with a cost of
4 lessons. Black Bat and Boa Constrictor are both strictly superior, although
this might fit in alongside of them in a very fast and lightweight creature deck.
However, it was meant to be played in a Sprout deck, where it's health gets
increased up to 3, with the aid of the Professor. That's very economical, and
you incur an added bonus if you also get into play a Dragon Dung Compost.
As with the other cards reviewed earlier this week, the playability value of
this plant goes way up in a narrow deck type.

This is an okay card, a 2/1 creature with the effect to discard it and get a
CoMC lesson from your discard pile. But, it uses an action, so it's not
good. Black Bat has the same stats and CoMC level, so it's better because it
gets the 2 damage to start off with.

Better than Boa Constrictor but it really isn’t big enough to be played much and Cunning Fox is
just way better. This guy’s ability is pretty pointless because you when you lay a creature he is
there for the damage that he can deal not to waste an action you could use to draw instead.

If you don't care about creature health and your deck is running potions you
might want this card. I don't see why you'd sacrifice this card for a lesson
but I suppose some people might. Two damage for four lessons isn't bad but I
reccomend going with Boa and Black Bat. That is, of course, unless you have
Sprout. If you do, 3 health still isn't that great. I wouldn't use this card
if you have room for Black Bats.

An instant CoMC replacement. It's ability costs as much as if you had played
the lesson from your hand, which could be helpful if you don't really have any
CoMC lessons in your hand. And when you do use it, if you have the original
Hermione in play, you can get back two lessons from your discard instead of one,
sorta like with the Remembrall. But while you let it sit in play, it's an average
damage dealer, and since it's a plant (which is likely used in a plant deck), it
would get a boost from Sprout and helps with other Plant based effects too. =)
