Am I the only one who thinks Cell Phone Zombie deserves a buff? I don't mind him drawing a Card but so many other Zombies do his job better. At least raise his stats or lower his cost.

I might make a post on the ideas thread to "revive" some of the older, less usable cards. There's so muchwasted potential in some of them that it makes me slightly A N G E R Y .

From what i learned in PvZCC, Drawing Cards appearntly gives the cost of a card +1. So, i don't think the stats change is beneficial, but it is underpowered.

I was thinking of it just flat out Conjuring any card.

That also makes a card gets +1 cost, actually.

Yeah, but he's saying you could conjure a card from the entire game, which is... not that useful, but hey.

Cell Phone Zombie has always had a troubled history. Way back when, cards like Cell Phone Zombie and Sage Sage really only worked as chump blockers. This was good for Sage Sage, which had enough attack that he could trade with whatever random card the zombie drew late game while increasing your chances of getting that one high-cost Legendary. But Cell Phone Zombie didn't work since he had to go before Plants. Even brand new players wouldn't use him.

Cell Phone Zombie got some teeny tiny isty bitsy weeee useage as being stall fodder to boost Valkyrie while increasing chances of getting all three 1HKO cards needed. But nowadays Cosmic cards do everything that these two cards do and then some. Making Conjuring a full feature available to more than just a few cards was one of the big game-changing additions, and had a much deeper impact than Evolutions, Fusions, or even Environments.
