Strategies
With
Vegetation Mutation is very potent if you have a lot of plants in play and within environments. Before playing this card, try to cover each ground lane with any environment like Coffee Grounds to benefit this card mid to late-game. Then, either swarm the field with as many plants as possible to give all of them a medium stat boost, or carefully plan out your defenses for a team of powerful plants that are difficult to simply wipe out.
While unreliable until you have played it once, it can also discourage your opponent from playing any of their environments, as with the exception of Total Eclipse, all plants can still be played in their environments normally, and they can only remove environments with the use of Squirrel Herder (Planet of the Grapes) or Excavator (bounces an environment and all plants within it).
Potted Powerhouse is an excellent card to have with this, as she can boost herself up to 8 times, resulting in massive stats of 11
/11
, and that is when she hasn't been previously boosted at all. However, only Grass Knuckles and Captain Combustible are able to pull it off easily due to the number of high-health Team-Up plants in the
Guardian class, and the swarming capabilities of the
Kabloom class respectively.
Against
You have to be careful if you are against a Mega-Grow hero that plays swarms of plants and environments, as it can allow them to boost swarms of plants that are on heights or in environments.
You can make it harder to play this trick with Defensive End, Bounce each of the plants to waste the boost, or destroy them with Rocket Science or
Deadly zombies like Toxic Waste Imp and Smelly Zombie. While you can play Zombot 1000 next turn to remove all plants, it will only work late-game as is too expensive to stop a mid-game Vegetation Mutation. You also need to be careful when you play your own environments since this trick will also count your environments. The best you can do is play environments that harm plants like Total Eclipse or Black Hole so that the plants get boosted less.
And finally, be ready for a potential Potted Powerhouse in your opponent's hand, as they will definitely pack at least one of them due to how well she synergizes with this trick.
