Anyways I think I understand springboards. You play Springboards on a lane. When you play a Plant there, the Plant is bounced back to your hand with its new upgrade as given by the springboard.

Clarification: The data has nothing really about springboards, but that's the only way Lilypad makes sense. 1. I doubt it. I think they're making sets purposely smaller in order to have them released faster. My guess is they're going for the same method the PvZ2 devs went for, release them in parts. Set 3 will feature first batch of the new cards, and Set 4 will be released one month later, featuring more cards based around the topic, along with new heroes again, perhaps.

2. That doesn't seem to work this way. Some of the springboards do things such as damage or destroy Zombies. In my opinion, Springboards are some sort of half-Fighters, half-One-Time-Effect-Environments. You can play them normally on board as fighters, and play anything on them (as if you were "evolving" them) to do their things. For example:

- You have a Pea Patch on board

- You play a Peashooter on it

- Peashooter gets +2/+2 and the Springboard is destroyed (the coding seems to suggest that it activates the ability on its own death after placing a Plant here).
