One thing that I still can't get over is the Green Shadow boss in the first zombie mission. Yeah, it should be easy and I do sound like a fool thinging it as hard. But dear lord, when you fight an AI that has a strategy when you have only the stock Super Brain cards, you will cry.

Green Shadow is able to: Freeze on command, TWICE, THRICE, boost Snowdrops to equate your strongest zombie at this point in the game in a single turn, denial, more denial, AoE and a complete backup strategy of Peashooters and Torchwoods. Also, Torchwood meat shields for protecting burly Snowdrops. Also, Snow Pea to synergise with both strategies.

At the very most, you've unlocked maybe 1 or 2 packets for plants and zombies of all types, so you may have at least one card to substitute in your deck, but the fact stands that you fighting a Buff-happy monster with an idiot infantry that can't handle freezing, AoE or any plant that's above 4 hit points which is very common during the fight.

5 attempts it took me to best the first boss. Five. And I knew at least what I was doing with so little resources I had! Imagine a new player that recieved even fewer cards for Super Brain and had experienced the Zombie side for no less than an hour! And furthermore, I only "won" because because:

A) The AI had a stroke and gave up sending cards out on the last 2 turns before victory.

B) I had to expend ALL but 1 HP and ALL my shields just to make it to the "pitying" AI.

What a way to start off my own PvZH experience, eh?
