He grew up on the wrong side of the garden.

Version 1.2.11

 * Rarity was changed from Basic - Uncommon to Premium - Rare

Strategies
Strategies with Super-Phat Beets should apply here as it gains more health for each Plant and Zombie. The Armored trait makes it immune to zombies that have at least 1 point, preventing the opponent from using Zombie cards to slowly whittle down the Tough Beets.

Keep in mind this card can be countered by itself if there are fewer Plants and Zombies on the field.

Countering
Having the Armored Trait will make it very difficult for the player to take down Tough Beets, as damaging tricks will be reduced by 1. However, using tricks that would destroy Tough Beets, such as Rocket Science or Locust Swarm can simply ignore the Armored trait it has.
