Best Decks in Harry Potter Magic Awakened

Thank Merlin, this isn’t your typical Collectible Card Game (CCG) in which you must burn through all of your galleons simply to have a chance at winning. You can actually collect every card for free, without a need for a Gringotts vault full of gold!

But, fully upgrading your cards can be trickier than getting past a Hungarian Horntail, so some decks are more friendly for us muggles on a budget. No need to bribe the goblins at Gringotts for extra gold!

Keep in mind that the meta is ever-changing and varies by PVP rank, but over time you’ll learn what are the Meta Decks.

Harry Echo Deck

I believe this is one of the best free-to-play decks that you can use. This deck revolves around the Harry Echo, which is a fantastic Echo that synergizes well with common, rare, and a few epic cards, making it ideal for free-to-play players. The best thing about it is that it can be played by anyone because it doesn’t call for any legendary cards.

The key effect of the Harry Echo is that it boosts the power of cards that cost 3 MP or less. Spells in this range receive a significant 49-point damage boost, while healing cards get a 17-point boost. Overall, it’s a powerful combination, especially when used in conjunction with the Dog Echo, which allows you to cycle through your deck quickly.

Newt Scamander Deck

First up, we have “The Book.” I absolutely love this card because it’s a fantastic counter to enemy units like Nifflers or Bomb Boxes. When your opponent plays a unit on the other side of the board, simply send your book, and it will devour that unit. The combination with Bomb Box is excellent because the bomb it carries deals a ton of damage. It’s a great counter against summons, big units like Opolai, and it works well against spam units too.

Next, we have Niffler. This card is a must-have for any summon deck. It provides you with 1 MP over time, allowing you to spam your units even faster. It’s a very versatile and valuable card to have in your arsenal.

Now let’s talk about Apple Eye. This summon is excellent against spam decks because its fire attack damages a large area, potentially wiping out multiple units at once. Additionally, Apple Eye serves as a great tank, especially against spell decks. If you don’t have Apple Eye, you can use Centaur as a substitute. It’s a solid option, especially for beginners who might not have access to many legendary cards.

Moving on, we have Inferno. This mid-range spell is perfect for finishing off enemies or dealing with bigger units It’s a versatile spell that comes in handy in various situations.

Cats are currently one of the best summons in the game. They are extremely tanky, and when you defeat a cat, it splits into more units. It’s a no-brainer inclusion in this deck, especially considering its strength when combined with bombs.

Now let’s discuss Bomb Box. This card is a must-play in this deck. It’s a significant source of damage as your units transport and explode with the bombs they carry. If you focus on levelling up one card in this deck, I recommend prioritizing Bomb Box, particularly if you’re looking at the epic side of cards. Having a high-level Bomb Box will provide you with a significant advantage.

Let’s move on to the companions. Cassandra is an incredible companion who offers protection at the back of the board, preventing your enemy from reaching it with Ivy or other attacks. She’s a crucial card to play early on, providing you with a solid defence.

In the second slot, I have Malfoy Gang. Personally, I like using them because my Malfoy Gang has a +3 boost, making it beneficial in my deck. However, I understand that not everyone might have Malfoy Gang at high levels, so a good alternative is playing Twins. They are potentially even stronger, especially if your Twins are higher level compared to Malfoy Gang.

Lastly, we have Hagrid. He’s a strong unit, difficult for opponents to deal with.

Hagrid Locomotor Deck

The Hagrid Locomotor Deck pushes the attack speed of your highest cost summon. For example, in our current deck, it will be Locomotor. When it’s on the field and the summon takes total damage equal to 50% of its maximum health, it will recover 28% of its maximum health within 2 seconds. This effect can be triggered up to three times.

Dobby Avada: The Whale Hunter

Want to navigate the whale-infested waters of Top Rank Dueling? A Dobby Avada Deck is your best choice. The mighty whale may be bigger, stronger, and healthier than you, but a whale is only mortal, and all mortals fall before Lord Vol— hem, hem —Dobby! This is the best deck to use against higher level opponents.

Do not mistake this for an overpowered deck. A Dobby Avada Deck comes with important caveats:

  1. This is not a beginner-friendly deck
  2. This is not good in Duo Duels (2V2)
  3. This deck struggles against some Meta Decks

Avada Kavadra allows you to ignore the extra HP your opponent has over you and Dobby’s Echo Ability is used to avoid their superior damage output. Dobby’s teleport will put you in the best position to hit them with the unforgivable curse.

Those are the basics of how the Dobby Avada Deck functions.

Harry Decks: Powerful and Cheap

Harry Decks are great for F2P Players. Harry Decks focus on low-mana cost Spell Cards and center around a couple of Common Cards: Oppugno and Stupefy.

That means the best cards in a Harry Deck are Common or Rare spells, since most Epic and Legendary cards have a high-mana cost.

Harry Decks don’t rely on Legendary cards to work. A few Legendary cards can work, but they are not necessary. Common and Rare Cards are relatively easy to upgrade.

There are a variety of Harry Decks that can work. By switching a few cards the player adjust the deck to their favorite playstyle. A few examples:

  • Ashwinder instead of Three Headed Puppy
  • Nifler instead of Nebulus
  • Priori Incantatem instead of Bewitched Snowballs
  • McGonagall instead of Lottie

Every F2P Player should try Harry Decks at least a few times.

Spell Vs Summon Vs Mixed Decks

So you tried Dobby Avada or Harry Decks and hated it? Don’t worry, you still have options. Worse options, true, but still good options.

Summon Decks
via WB Games

Summon Decks are very beginner-friendly. Summon Decks feel amazing early on because duelists still have weak basic attacks and are easily overwhelmed by summon mobs.

Summons have one big advantage over spells: they are easy to use for both attack and defense. That said, compared to spells, most summons cause less damage per point of mana spent.

Summon Decks can still be very powerful at the highest ranks, but your chances to win are very level-dependent. F2P Players should not focus on Summon Decks, at least not in the long term.

Spell Decks

Spell Decks are the most popular among veterans. Spells can be very powerful and versatile, especially when taking Echo effects into consideration. It will be harder to win early on with Spell Decks, but the experience will make you stronger in the long term.

Spells have two big disadvantages: it’s easy to waste a spell, and it’s hard to balance between attack and defense. The more you know about the game, the easier it will be to use spells correctly. Spell Decks are the best for F2P Players.

Mixed Decks
via WB Games

Mixed Decks can be just as powerful as Spell Decks. Such decks are based on Echos that benefit from mixing spell cards with specific summon cards. It’s great for players who like summon cards but worry that pure Summon Decks are not powerful enough.

The biggest problem of Summon Decks for F2P Players is that summon cards do not scale well with upgrades. Adopting a Mixed Deck might help with that problem. You can focus on upgrading only very specific summon cards to build an effective deck.

F2P Players should play Mixed Decks if they like them more than Spell Decks. There are no P2W Decks, so you can play anything you like. But upgrades are costly, so you should find a Meta Deck with a greater focus on spell cards.
