 * Tribe: Pirate Zombie
 * Effect: Gravestone. When a Pirate hurts the Plant Hero, that Pirate gets +1/+1.
 * Rarity: Basic - Common

Card description
Buckles his swash like no other.

Version 1.2.11

 * Rarity change: Premium - Rare to Basic - Common.

Strategies
Swashbuckler Zombie should be used in tandem with other Pirate Zombies. Notable ones include Imp Commander and Shieldcrusher Viking. This can also benefit greatly because of its low brain cost. This means it can be deployed nearly every wave. Using Smoke Bomb on it can greatly help as it will gain +1 and be moved away from the plants blocking it, if there are any.

Counters
Because this appears via Gravestone, Grave Buster or any plant with 2 or more will deal with this with ease. Since it starts out with 2, a Potato Mine can defeat it unless it is boosted. Whack-a-Zombie will also work if its Strength is below 4.

Trivia

 * Its description might be a spoof on its name, "swashbuckler."
 * Its description could also be a reference to its Travel Log quest description in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
 * It shares its attacking animation with Vimpire.
