It is based on peat moss, any of 380 species of moss in the genus Sphagnum.
Its name is a portmanteau of "repeat," referring to its ability, and "peat moss," the real-life plant it is based on.
Its description is a reference to its ability; specifically, "trick(y)" is emphasized, implying that its ability has to do something with tricks.

Strategies
With
Re-Peat Moss has terrible stats, and unfortunatey most Mega-Grow heroes don't have access to cheap trick cards for it to make any impact, and it tends to be vulnerable if unsupported. Captain Combustible is an exception, however, as he leads the Kabloom class which is in no shortage of such cards boosting strength. His superpowers Blazing Bark, Embiggen and Time to Shine are all helpful for activating the ability. He can also combo it with Banana Bombs, Banana Launcher, and Berry Blast, which are disposable cards for heavy destruction.
Being high cost, you generally want to take this card out quickly. This card can rack up damage quickly if played even if it is played dry, as the Plant player can and will buff its stats. A dry Re-Peat Moss is easily countered by Electrobolt, Rolling Stone, or Exploding Fruitcake. Fronting it with a Gravestone is a viable option as well.
However, there is not much you can do if your opponent combos the Re-Peat Moss with another trick immediately. The best way to pre-emptively counter Re-Peat Moss is to use Mixed-Up Gravedigger to block most lanes with Gravestones. If you are not able to do that, then remove it immediately with a trick. Bonus Track Buckethead and Gargantuar Mime can also work, but are generally not worth running since they have limited usability when playing into other cards and strategies.

Trivia
During the beta, the animation when Re-Peat Moss was played was longer.
Re-Peat Moss has a secret ability animation where he hops twice. This animation will either play if the player makes another plant do a bonus attack and the zombie hero blocks it, or if Gargantuar Mime kills it.
