With
This is a very powerful card. You can use him to have two of the same plant on the field. Preferably, you want to use him with plants that have "When played" abilities like Bluesberry, or powerful plants like Grapes of Wrath. Do note that Evolution abilities will not activate, even if the original plant is evolved. He can be used to his full potential if played in Pair Pearadise and combined with a powerful plant such as is played on another one. You will end up with 4 of the card. However, this is gimmicky and not recommended.

Because of his root tribe, you could use him in a root deck with Spudow, but this is not advised as he will probably end up transforming before you have a chance to boost him much. Besides, it would be best to refrain from boosting Imitater, since any stat boost he gets will be lost when he transforms.

Against
There is not too much you can do against this card unless he is not used in a combo, and you can remove him with a heavy damaging card like Cakesplosion, or instant-kill cards like Rolling Stone.

Trivia

 * His mime tribe is the first tribe to stretch between both plants and zombies, specifically between him and Gargantuar Mime.
 * While the game was in development, he was a 0/2 that costed 2 sun, and drew 2 cards.
 * Later on, he was changed to the way he is now, except he was a 2/2.
