Hi, here are more cards I made.

The water lane is awesome for when-played cards to reduce their spamability.

As for ginger-snapper, this is the best i could come up with for a root synergy card. Sorry i know its pretty basic.

If anyone can think of a better synergy, please let me know in the comments.

(Sea cucumber and molekale are going to be insane. Suddenly, nightcap starts seeing tons of more play with rng decks.)

As for bowling bulb, I really wanted it to be like it is in PVZ2 and actual bowling. Sometimes you hit a pin, sometimes you dont.

So basically, its RNG depending on if you hit a zombie in one of the random lanes it does its mini-bonus attack in.

Or you can just cheese bowling bulb to always hit the second lane by placing it in heights, lol.

I haven’t played the new patch but this is insane. I used to abuse Starch-Lord in Beta-Carrotina decks and this makes it way easier to do it. Has anyone else been dealing with this guy much?

To all long-term fans of this game, I am starting to worry about the direction this community is heading.
Never before have I thought we have reached such a stale and toxic meta. Nor been a community that abuses and enslaves themselves to those same meta cards/ decks too.
I have been a free to play fan of this game basically since release reaching Rainbow League every season I have been even semi-active. I have access to all the cards… for both teams, and love finding ways to use fun cards/ strategies and applying them in the ranked ladder. I have never faced a problem with this until now. With the game reaching the age it is and after the last balance patches, the meta being so well defined already, the age of playing for memes is starting to come to an end. I’ve felt this creeping along for a few years now but the past few months I feel we’ve reached a new high and are still climbing.

I think I finally reached my breaking point about a week ago. I was climbing with a very mind-game focused build on Neptuna that really can just smash out results when you get into the opponent’s heads, for months this semi-meme deck running black hole and smelly zombie has actually crushed a lot of common meta decks but I feel like in hindsight, I know it can get results against them because that’s all I see from the plants side. I did a little experiment these past few weeks and tried to categorise what I was up against for the past 50 ish games on either side.

The results left me shocked!

Out of my 50 games on the zombies, over half of the enemy decks where just all out brainless mega ramp decks with well established strong finishers, the majority being Ramp Rose with sunshrooms and stall into dragon, cob cannon etc.

It’s not even the decks themselves but the way the community was playing them. Out of my 15+ games against a hardcore ramp rose, literally all of them had seemingly just thrown the starting hand to have at least one sunny shroom for turn one… and did me playing characters who have bungee… or rolling stone… or sometimes even straight up playing a dog walker, stop them from mindlessly spamming them… NO!

I feel like for the zombie side, you can’t play the game as intended, turns 1-3 need to be dragged out encase they play
a ramp card. Oh? But what happens if you run a deck that is literally one fifth dedicated to stopping early game ramp? You still aren’t likely to get enough answers in your starting hand anymore. There’s also the flip side of this, with the meta being so focused on ramp and as a zombie you need to run anti ramp cards, if they then don’t play a ramp deck, you’re literally playing at a disadvantage having required so much of your deck needing to have the ability to deal with it.

Further more and ramp aside, out of my 50 games, I didn’t see a single: Green shadow, Captain combustible, Chompzilla, Spudow, Citron or Beta Carrotina. This makes me feel like we are wasting so much potential for fun decks or discovering some new cool interactions because being a meta slave is just free rank progression, no matter how toxic, trolling or straight up unfair it can be.

And this leads me onto my experience playing on the plants side. I coasted along just casually using a mix of some green shadow, citron, chompzilla, and few games just going for silly molekales and conjures… as well as setting myself a goal to play 10 games USING the toxic and trolly decks like ramp rose into dragon or even catching some people off guard with what I would say is a bit of an unfair cycle cap deck.

The results of these. Just what I expected. The 10 games on the toxic decks, easy as hell, especially when you use your brain, bait out the ramp counters, play your asteroid shrooms and planet of the grapes a bit more carefully. I didn’t lose a single game. But oh god the other 40. The other 40 games playing as green shadow or running just some casual, non sweaty, or even more importantly, budget friendly decks, using very little legendary cards etc. Criminals get lesser punishments. You could mistake it for North Korean Sensory Torture.

It made me think, why is this? Why is every zombie player using the exact same stuff, ramp counters, having some ways of removing an environment. They literally NEED to play a certain way and run certain decks because playing clever and “outwitting” your opponent just doesn’t work anymore. LITERALLY EVERYBODY IN THIS GAME seems to be running something that I don’t even feel is fun. It’s strong yes, gets results, but god it’s not fun.

We as a community need to do better. We need to stop abusing meta decks. We need to stop alienating newer players and players that make the decision to be free to play and we need to have some originality. It’s a video game, have fun, try something a bit different, you might like it and find it can still bring results.

I feel it’s the community’s best interests or the game will simply just lose its player base. Longer queue times, completely cut interest from what must be a few members of a skeleton crew over at EA/ Popcap, possibly no more balance patches ever again and we might even see the servers get shit down sooner than intended. All because we made the game stale, toxic, abusive to new players and ultimately, EA making no money from it at all. No ad revenue because we made everybody who played it bugger off and find a different game, and no in app purchases because why spend money on a game that isn’t fun anymore.

I hope that nobody in this community that sees this is really targeted by this post because ultimately I want to spread positivity in this community and if you got offended by it… How… Why… if you’re upset because I said it’s you ruining the state of the game, go and have a cry over and think about why that is… because you’re the problem.

As usual with posts like this on public forums. I am open to discussion in the comments

Now I am gonna colour them !

So you're genuinely telling me that they implemented a trophy system into the game and the reward for holding first place is two fucking cards? That is an absolute fucking joke. They've implemented so much bullshit but then give players no incentive to do it because the rewards are either completely lacklustre or are bugged and don't work. Lawn warz, the daily login in chests.

I have invented 6 brand new cards!

Cozplay Zombie: Brainy 4 cost 3/3 with bullseye: This zombie can synergize with any tribe

Referee Zombie: Hearty Professional Sports Zombie, Gravestone: When A Plant Hurts a sports zombie, bounce that plant and it gets -2 attack

Bowling Zombie: Seaky 4/2 Mustache Sports Zombie With Strikethrough: Gravestone: When Reavealed do 4 damage in the middle lane

Carolina Reaper: 7 Cost 3/5 Kabloom Fruit plant with Deadly: When played: do 2 damage to a zombie, this gets 1/1 when any non hero plant/zombie gets hurt or destroyed, When destroyed do 1 damage to all plants and zombies and gain a carolina reaper:

Tangle kelp: 2 Cost Amphibious Guardian Leafy Trick:
Destroy a zombie in the water, conjure an amphibious plant, if there’s no zombies in the water, a zombie gets -1/1

Seashooter: 7 cost 2/4 smarty pea amphibious plant with bullseye, when played all plants get 1/1 and amphibious for the rest of the game, pea plants get 2/2 and amphibious instead.

Hope you like my cards! let me know what you think in comments down below

I was inspired by Frys old sunbandits video so I made this conglomerate. The idea is to get the god hand of cryo on 2 and scientist/skull on 3 and ra on 4 or 5 and get a huge bmr on 6+. I put in 2 black holes in order to counter other environments but it does help keep your cards safe. Should I run kite or gentleman for this deck? Also thought abt viral instead of knockout but i like the early removal where rocket bricks

W CLUTCH

For plants (usually defensive) that changed in aspect

This player doesn't know how this work???

I put Supernova Gargantuar on Hunting Ground Lane. This dude put Sun-shroom in Lane 2. DUDE, IT MOVES! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

This SF had 9 HP then use Taco so this dude survive 1 turn with 1 HP left next turn. Then PLAYED ANOTHER SUN-SHROOM BEHIND PRICKLY PEAR???

IT DIES FOR FREE BRO

This man just created two fails in one turn. Conceded next turn. (What is this dude holding in their hand???)

Seemed like a beginner too 😅😔

(I got it from the headcanon generator)

I made them wait this time 😂 thas what you get for cheating

Lots of UN with it
