With
This environment can make a single zombie powerful over time if you manage to keep that zombie alive. It is best to play a high brain zombie as early as possible to start transforming into another zombie that is 1 higher than their cost, thus getting powerful zombies within fewer turns than playing a 1 brain cost and require for a couple of turns for stronger zombies. If you want to rely on this environment more than other cards, you can use or Gargologist to play high brain zombies very easily and make them transform into powerful zombies quickly.

However, this environment is luck-based as although it can give you powerful zombies such as or useful ones such as Quasar Wizard, it might also give you weak ones such as Conehead or ones that do not synergies with your deck such as Flamenco Zombie in a non-dancing deck or Mad Chemist in a non-trick deck. Regardless, the zombie made will be more threatening than its previous form, forcing your opponent to think more defensively.

The benefit for this environment is that the zombie will always be transforming whenever it manages to stay alive within 1 turn. This means that unless it is fragile such as or Abracadaver, you do not have to worry about its health, nor have to use health-boosting cards such as Camel Crossing and Loudmouth.

If you have Unlife of the Party on the field, he will boost himself every turn, since the zombie that is made from Transformation Station counts as playing a zombie. However, only Professor Brainstorm can do that normally.

Against
This environment can allow the Zombie Hero to obtain powerful zombies early on in the match. You need to find a way to prevent the zombie from being transformed before the end of the turn. Either Bounce it with or Jumping Bean or destroy it with insta-kill tricks such as  and. Alternatively, you can play Brainana to make the zombie hero be unable to play it for that turn or get rid of it with your own environment. However, if you wish to do that, you can only get rid of it the following turn, since zombie environments are played in the "Zombie Trick" phase.

Trivia

 * If a Trickster is played here, it will transform into a Zombie that costs 1 more than it did while in your hand, instead over a Zombie that costs 11 or more. If said Trickster had not had its cost decreased and is still 10, it will become another Trickster.
