Strategies
With
While Steel Magnolia's strength may be lackluster, her ability allows plants, including her, to survive more hits and ensure longer board control, being a highly effective plant both for her stats and contribution to your setup.
You can use her to boost the health of either a tanky plant so they can take a few more hits, like Soul Patch or Hibernating Beary, or a frail plant to prevent it from being destroyed easily, like Mushroom Ringleader or Magnifying Grass. She also works wonders with Health-Nut and Pecanolith, not only increasing other plants' health, but also increasing their strength (only with Pecanolith, only applies to Health-Nut otherwise) as well.
When playing as Wall-Knight, Briar Rose and Power Flower can also be used in conjunction with Steel Magnolia, as she is a flower. Her ability, too, suits a flower deck well, as many flowers have low health.
When playing as Grass Knuckles, you can use this with Potted Powerhouse, then place this in the middle of a cluster of plants to insanely boost her.
Against
While Steel Magnolia does not hit very hard, her ability makes this card troublesome. 4 health alone is also quite a lot for the third turn too. It is recommended to bring some high-strength zombies to counter her ability.
Evaporate, Locust Swarm, and B-flat are also decent choices. If the plants given the boost have less than 2 or less, Weed Spray or Rolling Stone will do the trick.
