From Plants vs. Zombies Wiki
Cut Down to Size is a super-rare zombie superpower trick card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the
Brainy class. It costs 1
to play, and its ability instantly destroys a selected plant with 5
or more.
Origins
Its name is based on the phrase "Cut down to size," which means to lower or decrease someone's importance, self-importance, or confidence.
Its original description is based on an actual idiom, while its current description is a reference to a Russian proverb, "The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the scythe."

Strategies
With
This card is extremely efficient and can be used on plants that get too powerful, like Super-Phat Beets, Pea Pod, Soul Patch, Hibernating Beary or Doubled Mint. It can also be used to destroy glass cannons like Carrotillery if you don't have better options. This trick should not be used to destroy Grapes of Wrath as you will receive 6 damage, unless you are close to blocking an attack, or you want to clear the way for a powerful zombie.
Keep in mind that Rocket Science has a similar ability, but can destroy plants with over 4
and can be typically used multiple times over the course of a match. However, Cut Down to Size is much cheaper and will see better use on gigantic enemy threats.
Against
Much like when you're against Rocket Science, plants with lower strength are viable. Having multiple threatening plants can force your opponent into a dilemma, such as even if it is played, you won't lose much momentum due to it being usually avaliable once per game.
