Decks

Encounter Battle

This isn't a very strong deck. However, be careful of Cuckoo Zombie. Kite Flyer will cause Professor Brainstorm to draw more cards, however this is not a big deal. Paparazzi Zombie shouldn't be too hard due to not many Tricks being used in this deck.

Teammate Battle (I)

This deck isn't so hard, but there are a lot of Imps that have a very large amount of damage they can deal, such as Mini-Ninja, Fishy Imp, and Exploding Imp. Watch out for Cuckoo Zombie and Line Dancer Zombie.

Mini-Boss Battle

This deck is slightly harder than the first due to the inclusion of Gadget Scientist, who causes all zombies in the Science tribe to do a bonus attack when played. The only zombies in that tribe in this deck are Cardboard Robot Zombie, Kite Flyer, and Electrician, and none of these are particularly dangerous. As always, be wary of Cuckoo Zombie.

Teammate Battle (II)

Rustbolt's deck is probably the hardest so far. Sumo Wrestler can move plants into inconvenient lanes and lanes with Arm Wrestler, which will boost Arm Wrestler's damage and health. Landscaper can decrease the damage of a plant which can possibly make them more susceptible to Rolling Stone. However, this deck isn't that dangerous as there are no zombies that deal over two damage.

Boss Battle

The final deck is much more dangerous than the other two of Professor Brainstorm's decks, as now he gets Zombot Drone Engineer and Hail-a-Copter, and he gets Eureka! during the first turn, which causes him to draw three random cards from the entire game. Zombot Drone Engineer can be disastrous paired with Gadget Scientist, as Gadget Scientist causes all Science zombies to do a bonus attack, and Zombot Drone Engineer causes all Science Zombies to get +1 damage when they harm a plant or Plant Hero. Hail-a-Copter will summon a 6/5 Copter Commando Imp, which is very dangerous, however due to the high cost of the Trick, it won't be played too often.
