Strategies
With
Captain Flameface's ability is really useful by himself as well as with other pirates. You can create pirate synergy with Swashbuckler Zombie as any pirate that attacks while surviving will get +1/+1 while doing damage to plants and your opponent unless they get a Super-Block. This also works well with Imp Commander as he can attack through Team-Up plants and draw a card unless the plant hero gets a Super-Block.
Impfinity can use this zombie with Imp-Throwing Gargantuar to land 5 damage on the plant hero. Super Brainz and Huge-Gigantacus can pair him with Shieldcrusher Viking, which will guarantee 7 unblockable damage to the plant hero if he manages to attack while also emptying their block meter, which is better than Impfinity's strategy. Brain Freeze can use this zombie with Interstellar Bounty Hunter, as she will strike through all plants in her lane and hit the plant hero; if she manages to destroy a plant, she can do more damage in her lane and draw more cards.
Against
Captain Flameface himself does not do a lot of damage but can be threatening, as he can damage multiple weak plants in front of him. He is at his most dangerous when paired with other pirates like Imp Commander, Shieldcrusher Viking and especially Swashbuckler Zombie, which allows the zombie hero to draw cards, deplete your health quicker, or give boosts to pirates, respectively. Fortunately, tricks like Grave Buster or Whack-a-Zombie can destroy him easily.
