Daily Challenge (PvZH) strategies/Surprise! (Surprise Sunday)/Week 16

July 30th, 2017

Synopsis: You play as Nightcap fighting against Immorticia on turn 18. Immorticia has 24 health and you (Nightcap) have 1 health. On the field, from left to right, there is a Trickster in the first lane, a Wormhole Gatekeeper on a Cone Zone environment in the second lane, a Smashing Gargantuar in the fourth lane, and an Interstellar Bounty Hunter in the fifth lane. Also on the field is a High-Voltage Currant in the fifth lane with the Interstellar Bounty Hunter. You are given a Sergeant Strongberry, a Melon-Pult, a Sour Grapes, and an Electric Blueberry.

Note: The Wormhole Gatekeeper's ability is unintentional. If you do happen to draw another Sergeant Strongberry via the Wormhole Gatekeeper (other cards drawn include a Melon-Pult, a Sour Grapes, and an Electric Blueberry), you can simply play both Sergeant Strongberry and then Sour Grapes to clear the field and defeat Immortica with the Sergeant Strongberry loop.

However, the solution posted below uses only the cards that you drew at the start, without relying on the card that the Wormhole Gatekeeper draws.

1. Play the Sergeant Strongberry in the second lane with the Wormhole Gatekeeper and play the Sour Grapes in the first lane with the Trickster. The Sour Grapes will do 1 damage to each Zombie, increasing High-Voltage Currant's strength to 5, then the Sergeant Strongberry will damage each Zombie for 2, increasing High-Voltage Currant's strength to 9.
2. Play the Electric Blueberry in the fourth lane with the Smashing Gargantuar and play the Melon-Pult in the third lane, which will move the Interstellar Bounty Hunter from High-Voltage Currant's lane into the third lane too.
3. Start the fight. If you did it right,  here is what should happen.
   1. Sour Grapes attacks the Trickster and increase High-Voltage Currant's strength to 11 (via both its attack and Sergeant Strongberry's ability. This should also destroy the Trickster).
   2. Sergeant Strongberry itself will increase High-Voltage Currant's strength to 12 when it attacks the Wormhole Gatekeeper.
   3. The Wormhole Gatekeeper, the Interstellar Bounty Hunter, and the Smashing Gargantuar will then be attacked and destroyed by Melon-Pult.
   4. As there are no targets other than Immorticia herself, Electric Blueberry will attack her, reducing her health to 18. This will cause Sergeant Strongberry to deal 2 extra damage to her to reduce her health to 16. This will further boost High-Voltage Currant's strength to 14.
   5. High-Voltage Currant at 14 strength will attack Immorticia, reducing her health to 2. This will activate Segreant Strongberry's ability once more, dealing the remaining 2 damage needed to defeat her.
