Card description
In space Zombie circles, he's a very powerful figure. Just don't talk about him in front of Huge-Gigantacus. There's some jealousy there.

Strategies
With
Despite his low stats Intergalactic Warlord's ability can be a game-changer, as it persists for the whole game once he is played, even for zombies that are normally unable to be boosted (Gravestones, cards in your hand, etc). Using this makes your zombies survive longer and do more damage to your opponent's defenses.
All Hearty Heroes can use Flag Zombie to rapidly swarm the field with cheap costing Zombies in the early game, then play Intergalactic Warlord several turns earlier than normal, which can overwhelm your opponent with permanently boosted cheap Zombies by the mid-game. Going Viral can finish your opponent by making your already strong zombies even stronger and tunnel through plants.
If playing as Neptuna, you can use In-Crypted, Firefighter, or Mixed-Up Gravedigger to reactivate his ability. Since he is a Pirate Zombie, he can benefit from Swashbuckler Zombie and Captain Flameface.
As The Smash, you can play Secret Agent to reactivate Intergalactic Warlord's ability, as well as give him a huge boost. He can also play Synchronized Swimmer, which will not only copy the stats of a boosted zombie, but also gain an extra +1/+1 for each time Intergalactic Warlord's effect is triggered.
As Rustbolt, you can combine this with Mustache Waxer to gain extra brains, or use him to Evolve Duckstache. He can also use Cryo-Brain to ramp to Intergalactic Warlord on Turn 4 or earlier. However, both uses pale in comparison to other heroes as Rustbolt can't reuse his ability.
Z-mech has access to zombies that make other zombies such as Disco Zombie, Imp-Throwing Gargantuar and Hippity Hop Gargantuar to increase Intergalactic Warlord’s Value. He is also one of the best heroes at flooding the field since his classes have a lot of options for this. However like Rustbolt, Z-Mech can’t reuse his ability.
Against
While Intergalactic Warlord himself is no threat, his ability is very dangerous as it gives all zombies your opponent uses a boost, and cannot be prevented or countered once he is played. The best thing to do is to pressure your opponent from playing him through threats of your own, but if you can't, the most important thing to remember when facing this zombie is to never Bounce him unless it ensures your victory, as your opponent can replay him, causing the boosts to compound.
If your opponent is Neptuna, attempt to destroy this zombie immediately - which should not be too difficult due to his low stats - As she will abuse her bouncing cards or Mixed-Up Gravedigger to reuse his ability otherwise. Although The Smash can also do this through the use Secret Agent, it's less likely for him to actually do so.
