Strategies
With
Toadstool is like The Smash's signature superpower, Slammin' Smackdown, but with a little twist. Unlike his superpower, Toadstool costs a lot more, but comes with a decent plant that produces sun. In other words, she behaves similarly to Chomper, except with better stats, a tribe synergy, and the ability to produce sun like Sunflower. Use her like how you would use Chomper, but with greater benefits to take out some stronger zombies like Portal Technician, Undying Pharaoh, and others.
For zombies with enough strength to evade Toadstool's ability, you can play strength-reducing cards like Water Balloons, Scorched Earth and Weed Whack to allow her destroy any zombie with less than 6 or 5 strength such as Trickster, Zombot Plank Walker, etc. If you keep weakening stronger zombies multiple times, it is also possible to destroy powerful zombies like Octo Zombie or Zombot 1000.
In addition, when playing as Solar Flare, you can include her with Mushroom synergy due to her tribes.
Against
While Toadstool isn't very powerful, her instant-kill ability is dangerous. The best counter for her ability is to play high-strength zombies to fight her, or Gravestone zombies to avoid them from being destroyed before they can fight. However, Wall-Knight can play Doom-Shroom and Grave Buster instead, so do not always rely on this strategy when you are against him.
You can also use Teleport and Teleportation Zombie to play zombies without having to worry about Toadstool's instant-kill ability for that turn.
For Toadstool herself, instant-kill tricks like Rocket Science and Locust Swarm can easily destroy her due to her high strength. High-damage tricks such as Cakesplosion or Final Mission can also be useful. Failing that, if you are not concerned with its dangerous "When-played" ability, you can choose to bounce Toadstool, ideally before any extra sun can be produced. The card's cost may discourage the opponent from re-playing it.

Trivia
- Her description is nearly identical to the first and last sentences of her Almanac entry in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
- In update 1.12.6, Toadstool used to play her sun-producing animation only in the player's side. This was apparently a bug.
- She is the most expensive mushroom card and sun-producing card in the game.
