Strategies
With
Mountain Climber is a zombie which behaves similarly like Drum Major/Moonwalker that exchanges placement flexibility for the Bullseye trait. While the sacrifice is certainly considerable, Mountain Climber doesn't work so well with Professor Brainstorm's dancing decks or other Brainy heroes in general, as they have access to superior Bullseye options. She does retain her usefulness in Rustbolt's decks, and is able to benefit from Sports synergy with Team Mascot and Zombie Coach while still being able to exploit the likes of Lurch for Lunch. Unfortunately, even that use is questionable due to the existence of versatile cards like Arm Wrestler.
Against
Mountain Climber will most likely be played on the heights lane, so prepare a plant to destroy this. Using tricks helps with destroying this zombie. Beware of this zombie's Bullseye trait, as she will not fill your Super-Block Meter. A quick counter to a turn 4 Mountain Climber is Skyshooter; regardless of placement, he will be able to make an exchange (or even live the attack with other pea synergy plants around).
Also, beware of Team Mascot, as he can boost Mountain Climber, and Zombie Coach, as Mountain Climber will then be immune to damage. If those don't work, using instant-kill cards such as Squash, Shamrocket and Doom-Shroom also works, but beware that the latter can also destroy your stronger defenses.
