Harry Potter Card of the Week
with Alex Rockwell

Thanks for writing in response to my article...
I think the input is valuable.
 
First of all, as regards to the deck, It is purely untested, and I was not attempting to give a working deck to people, only a starting point for someone to work off of...
The cards in the quiddich set arent even available yet, after all. I agree that lots of adventures could be dangerous.  Unless your opponent is pretty much forced to destroy them, you are wasting your space. So I agree with that.
 
As far as getting 4 In The stands...
I would never suggest anyone go out and buy a whole bunch of booster boxes
for that purpose! I would think that you could acquire several of them through trading
and/or purchasing single cards.  This can be done through Ebay, with people selling there rares, or in other ways. I personally dont buy that many packs... I like to trade and buy good cards individually.
 
I generally dont consider the price of cards while deck building...I try to make something like I want and then substitute less expensive similar cards if needed....
 
Finally, I think that Prof. McGonagall really is good, because the ability to discard an adventure is very helpful against cards like Privet Drive which prevent spell casting.  But her other ability of providing a transfiguration lesson is very strong....it is similar to Flitwick and
Snape's abilities.  And her secondary ability is at least on par with theirs, probably better.  I consider Flitwick to be the best character from the base set, and I think McGonagall is better...
I dont use her only to kill  the adventure....its the fact that she provides a transfiguration lesson, which starts me out with a lesson in play and makes it so I can play transfigure spells without playing any lessons in my deck, in ADDITION to the secondary ability to destroy an
adventure, which makes her so valuable. 

Of course, I wouldn't use her for EVERY single deck...

Hermoine is very good for decks which play out lots of lessons, But I prefer to use less lessons and play someone who starts out by providing one lesson, and then use items like borrowed wand or cage in addition to lessons to get my power up.
 
I included 21 lessons + 5 item cards providing power and you start with one lesson from your character... I thought that was pretty good.
 
Anyways, thanks for the input!
 
If I never said anything that anyone would disagree with, then I would only be saying things that everyone already knew, so what would be the point of writing?
 
Thanks!
I'm glad that some people are actually reading my stuff.
