Video Thursday: Great Imposter BrainFreeze Deck by FryEmUp!

I love Imposter. Hes funny and has a great mustache, but other than Imp decks, he doesnt have much use, except in this deck made by amazing and very experienced PVZH Player: FryEmUp. Check it out!
Ya know, this makes me want Maniacal Laugh more... Why did i craft 3 Blooming Hearts... :(

BREAKING NEWS: New Ranked Season and Set 2 RELEASE DATES!!!!!! (MAJOR SPOILERS)

Users at the PvZ Heroes Reddit have dug-up info on the new season of ranked mode, alongside... THE SET 2 RELEASE DATE!

Reddit User "The_ACFP" shared this picture confirming the possible Set 2 Release Date.
 

Afterwards, Reddit User "Pealover" said the following:
"To be more exact, it's June 12, 6:00 PM UTC time."

This makes alot of sense, as High Voltage Currant, which many consider a Set 2 Event Card, is dropping June 6. This could very well mean Early Access Galactic Packs will start to be sold in the shop.

The_ACFP also said:
"If you pay attention, you can see that the file that contains this date is called "pvpdata", so it contains stuff of online modes only, so we can conclude that can be Ranked Matches Season 2's release. And then there's Early Access, and as far as we know, Early Access packs Lasts 1-2 Weeks. So we have more 2 Release Dates: 06/04 (High Voltage Currant's Event Start) and/or 05/30 (Sun-Shroom's Event Start. It kinda fits more because of the event name, "Chosen Ones)."

Note that name of Sun-Shroom´s event: "Chosen Ones"
In alot of media, Chosen One or Ones mean someone that could save something due to his amazing abilities or traits.
We know there will be 2 new Heroes, which are based on Space. Are these the "Chosen Ones"?

Onto Pealover´s thread, where he showcases the way the new Ranked mode is gonna work. Its gonna be alot faster to level-up ranks, and this is great considering they will now last 5 weeks only. Below are the stars and info that it will take. He also shared the possibly true release date of Set 2, alongside the prizes for getting to a certain league before the season is over.

The dev version has once again updated, and along with it the PvP Season data has updated, too, with probably almost completed data and start date, too!

Season 2 begins June 12 at 6:00 PM UTC time.

The season ending rewards are new and very cool! They also tell us that the shop will still sell normal Premium Packs alongside the new Galactic Packs.

So... If they release Galactic Early Access Packs, will you buy them? Personally not me.
Thank yall for reading! Have an awesome day :)

Deck Monday (+UPDATE!): Wall-Knight Flowers!

Ya know, Flowers, while powerful, are kinda weak. But with some awesome cards and setup, they can overpower anything and everything!
This deck focuses on Flowers, starting with removal early on, then getting carried thru turns 4-10 with your Flowers, whether ya go Board Control with Briar Rose or Stalling till turn 10 and use Wall-Nut Bowling is your choice. Flowers are cute, but some are definitely DEADLY.

X4 Morning Glory: A solid 2/2 plant for 1 sun. Use it for early defence if you need to, or save it for mid/late game where it becomes a resilient 3/3. In some games you might not need to use it to deal damages, so save it as a 1 sun removal with Briar Rose synergy.

X3 Grave Buster: Gravestone decks are the strongest zombie decks at the moment so Gravebuster will come in handy in these match-ups. Use it to get rid of key gravestones (for example Pogo Bouncer) and disrupt their tempo.

X4 Hot Date: There are so many uses and it is never a dead draw. In early-game it is an effective removal for key zombies such as Toxic Waste Imp/Gargologist/Zombot Drone Engineer, or use it as a gravestones blocker. In mid-game it protects your key flowers and takes care of water lane zombies. In late game it is a great lane manipulator for the best Wall Nut Bowling finish. A great control card and one of the best in the game.

X4 Second Best Taco: The two best things in one card, and it is an auto-include in every Wall Knight control deck. More of a mid-late game card so don’t keep it in your starting hand.

X4 Pear Cub: This is great for stalling and to generate card advantage, and a good gravestone blocker. The activated 5/4 Grizzly pear is a formidable force and your opponent will often respond to it immediately next turn by blocking or removing it, which gives you a free turn to catch up on your defence or play Metal Petal Sunflower. 90% of the time it will take 2 or more cards to neutralize this which is great value! It can also be used to counter Barrel of Deadbeard/Firework zombie.

X3 Whack-a-Zombie: Standard early removal which this deck needs vs tempo and aggro. This in combination with Hot Date provides the best early game control.

X4 Metal Petal Sunflower: A solid fighter and very resilient to tricks. The only removal tricks that it will die to on Turn 4 is Cake Explosion, B-Flat, and Smash’s Slammin Smackdown. The extra sun ramp is great for activating 3/3 morning glory 1 turn earlier or playing Briar Rose on Turn 5. You may play it on Turn 8 for an accelerated Turn 9 Wall nut bowling.

X3 Doom Shroom: The best removal trick for this deck and do not replace them with Sham Rocket. It can often wipe the whole board vs pet/sport/garg decks, or save you from a hairy Plankwalker RNG. Your plants will rarely be affected since the majority of your plants are 3 attack.  

X3 Power Flower: 3/5 is good, strikethrough is great, and healing is amazing. This is one of your key plants and play it safe if you can. It is resilient to most removal tricks, and 3 attack strikethrough damage will quickly take your opponent’s health down. It is also a great healer. In many instances I was down to 2-5 health and win the game 2-3 turns later with nearly full health.

X3 Briar Rose: Your main line of defence. While it can be used as a Turn 6 removal against a tough zombie such as Defensive End, having a solid board of flowers is when Briar Rose will shine. It is the key to success against Gravestone/Teleport-bonus attack decks. Try play it in Lane 4 if you can, protect it with your superpowers (Nut Signal/Bubble-up), team up and heal against direct damage tricks if necessary.

X2 Poppin Poppies: Great flower synergy with Briar Rose and Power Flower. Its little Buddies are great for blocking and lane clogging, and they are all “deadly” in presence of Briar Rose. Beware that a 4/4 body is a target for Rocket Science.

X3 Wall Nut Bowling: A solid win condition and a much better choice over Cornucopia. With 3 copies, there is a 95% stacked probability of drawing one before Turn 10 (assume 2 additional card draw from Superpower/Taco). Plan your board early and use removal and lane manipulation to clear the ground lanes. The preparation will pay off and 4 out of 5 times this card will win you the game this turn or next.

UPDATE TIME!
Hey guys! This next update is not as big as our last one, but now Mondays will be for Card Of The Week, while Fridays will be Deck Friday´s. This is to ensure better editing and better posts of said Decks. Thanks for reading!

Event Card Analysis: Imposter

ImposterH
Imposter is an event zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Sneaky class. He costs 1 to play, and has 2/1. He does not have any traits, and his ability adds a random Imp card that costs 1, which can be another Imposter, into the zombie hero's hand when he is destroyed, then places a mustache on that Imp when it is played.

Imposter can be a great addition for Imp decks, as he gives you more Imps when he is destroyed. You can treat this as Haunting Zombie but with a slightly riskier ability, as he can give you either a powerful Imp, or a really weak one.
So far, Imposter can only give the player:
  • Imp
  • Swabbie
  • Mini-Ninja
  • Impfinity Clone
  • Leprechaun Imp
  • Another Imposter
Getting an Imp or Swabbie is the worst case scenario, as they do almost nothing, though they can be used as a meat shield or as a glass cannon if paired with Toxic Waste Imp or as extra cards with Imp Commander. Mini-Ninja has the Anti-Hero trait, meaning he can do some good damage early in the match. Impfinity Clone is fragile, but is seen as stronger than Swabbie and can act as Snorkel Zombie with the Imp tribe. Leprechaun Imp is possibly the best Imp to get, since he has decent stats and will shuffle 2 Pots of Gold your deck. Getting another Imposter also means you get to draw another Imp, making it good for synergy.

You can treat Imposter as a cheap Haunting Zombie, but that works with the Imp tribe. Be careful if this stacks with Imp Commander or Toxic Waste Imp as it can ruin your defenses. In addition, be careful of destroying this as it can provide more Imps to the zombie hero's hand. The good news is is that you will only have to worry about Imps that cost 1 brain. Mini-Ninja can be dangerous if the zombie hero has Smoke Bomb, but virtually any attacking plant can be used to get rid of them.

Event Card Analysis: Regifting Zombie

Regifting ZombieH 
Regifting Zombie is an event zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Brainy class. He costs 2 to play, and has 3/2. He does not have any traits, and his ability gives 2 cards to both the plant and zombie hero.


Regifting Zombie is a good option early on, as he only costs 2 and has 3/2, which are respectable stats early on in the game. Compared to the Cell Phone Zombie, who gives you 1 card, Regifting Zombie gives 2, but at the cost of your opponent also gaining 2 cards. In that case, be careful of playing him if your opponent has a low amount of cards. In addition, it may be wise to swap Regifting Zombie for Cell Phone Zombie if the risk is higher than the reward. Otherwise, the plant hero may obtain cards that can help stop your attack. However, in terms of fighting, he is essentially Fire Peashooter for zombies, except with no beneficial tribe.

As for its ability, it can also be used to draw Pot of Gold more easily should Leprechaun Imp be played. Or, you can force your opponent to overdraw and be unable to block. If the game goes extremely late, you can also try to use this to make your opponent run out of cards, since the player who runs out of cards first instantly loses regardless of health. However, this occurs rarely in general matches.

Regifting Zombie can be of great use to Super Brainz in a mill deck as you can use this to add a lot of cards in your opponent's hand, which can prevent them from getting a Super-Block as long as there are 10 or more cards in their hand. In addition with Super Brainz, Regifting Zombie can be combined with cards like Pogo Bouncer to benefit said deck very easily.

Be wary when Bananasaurus Rex is on the field, as it will get boosted when Regifting Zombie is played. Additionally, if Sow Magic Beans is played, your opponent will have a higher chance of drawing Magic Beanstalk throughout the game.

As Super Brainz, you can use Firefighter or Mixed-Up Gravedigger to make him replay his ability. However, like said, be careful on when to do this, as you may supply the plant hero with cards in desperate needs, putting you in a bad spot.

Against Regifting Zombie, he can be a challenge early on in the game, due to his high stats for the point of the game in which he is usually played in. However, his gimmick, which makes each player draw two cards, can be both beneficial or a waste of space, as you could get good cards or ones that are less useful. But for most, you may obtain cards that could help you win the game if you are low on cards.

Regardless of the type of cards you get, if you have Bananasaurus Rex on the field, it gets +2/+2 when Regifting Zombie is played, as you get two cards for free.

However, if you manage to have a lot of cards in your hand, you do need to be careful is Regifting Zombie is played as it prevents you from getting a Super-Block if you are holding 8 to 10 cards.

How do ya think he will be used?

Event Card Analysis: Secret Agent

Secret AgentH 
Secret Agent is a Beastly Professional Trick, which costs 1 brain and bounces a zombie, giving it +3/+3. 


This card is very risky due to that it bounces a zombie, and makes you lose Tempo, but can be exceptionally rewarding as a match goes on as it gives it +3/+3, and is 2 brains less than Vitamin Z. The best zombie to use it on is cheap zombies with either good strength or health, like Cat Lady or Tennis Champ. That way, your opponent will have to face a very powerful zombie on the next turn. This also means the zombie Bounced will activate its ability again if it has the ability. This can be really beneficial for zombies with the Gravestone trait, or other zombies that have a "When Played" ability like Trickster.

Electric Boogaloo can use this on a zombie, like Newspaper Zombie or Jester to not only reset their stats, but also to make them stronger. This can be really useful with glass cannons as well, like Exploding Imp or Tennis Champ. Immorticia and The Smash should focus on zombies with the Gravestone trait and other zombies that have "When Played" abilities. Brain Freeze should consider replacing Firefighters with this, as they do the same thing, with this option being cheaper and boosting the Bounced zombie.

There is not much that can be done to counter this card other than defeating every zombie so they cannot be bounced. In addition, having board control will make the zombie hero second guess bouncing a zombie, so that they do not get damaged more. Prepare a Shamrocket just in case the zombie used is too powerful to normally deal with. If it is a zombie with the Gravestone trait, use Grave Buster to destroy it easily. If this gets played, make sure to keep the Bounced zombie in mind, as it can come out at any time. But be prepared for the zombie to be played again as it will have better stats than before. Or alternatively, you can Bounce the zombie again to remove its boost.

Deck Monday: ZOOKSMAN´s Gravestone Neptuna!

Gravestone Neptuna is known as one of the stronger decks out there. Here´s the final version of Zookman´s Gravestone Neptuna, which includes Zombie High Diver!

X4 Headstone Carver: Boosts all the gravestones in the deck. Only play it as a turn 1 play if you have Swashbuckler coming up next turn.

X3 Rolling Stone: Takes out weak and very dangerous cards like Pea Pod, but most importantly: Lily of The Valley.

X4 Sumo Wrestler: Moves plants around, and is best used with Stealthy Imp to make him attack face.

X4 SwashBuckler Zombie: Great turn 2 card for the most part. 

X2 Landscaper: Reduces the attack of powerful plants or to clog lanes.

X3 Line Dancing Zombie: Great removal and trades well with most plants.

X2 Stealthy Imp: Damage Dealer.

X3 Weed Spray: Big removal in turn 3 or later.

X2 Zombie High Diver: Great damage dealer in the water lane, especially with the boost of Headstone Carver.

X4 Pogo Zombie: Bounces boosted plants or dangerous plants. 

X4 Mixed Up GraveDigger: Used to reuse abilities from Landscaper, Pogo, Sumo, Plank Walker and to heal off damage too. Can be used to try to go for face.

X1 Monster Mash: Boosts zombies. Best used with a full or almost full board.

X2 Zombot Sharktronic Sub: Basically gives all zombies Deadly. DONT play it in Turn 6.

X2 Zombot Plank Walker: Finisher.


So thats Neptuna Gravestone for ya! Its definitely fun and effective!
