Daily Challenge (PvZH) strategies/Surprise! (Surprise Sunday)/Week 19

August 20th, 2017

Synopsis: You play as Professor Brainstorm fighting against Beta-Carrotina on turn 7. Beta-Carrotina has 20 health and 7 sun while you (Professor Brainstorm) have 1 health and no brain. On the field, from left to right, there are two Astrocados, each on both the first and fifth lanes, two Power Flowers, each both on the second and fourth lanes and a Jugger-Nut on the 3rd lane. Also, there are 2 s, each on both first and fifth lanes and two Medulla Nebula environments on both the second and fourth lanes. You are given a Teleport, Super Stench, Final Mission, Gargantuars' Feast and with the aid of two Flag Zombies, Interdimensional Zombie, Barrel of Deadbeards and Brain Vendor, whose costs are reduced by 2 in your hand. If the Interdimensional Zombie transforms into... If Rodeo Gargantuar was summoned from Gargantuars' Feast, move the Jugger-Nut to any lane.
 * 1) Play both the Interdimensional Zombie and Barrel of Deadbeards on either the first or second Medulla Nebula environments. This way, you will get 6 total brains.
 * 2) End Zombie Play phase and start Zombie Tricks phase.
 * 3) Use Super Stench so that Barrel of Deadbeards will destroy every plants except for the Jugger-Nut.
 * 4) Play Teleport so the Interdimensional Zombie will transform into a 3-brain cost Zombie and successfully gain 3 brains.
 * 5) Play Final Mission to destroy the Barrel of Deadbeards, affecting its ability to obliterate every plants and zombies due to the addition of the Deadly trait. Use the damaging part of the Final Mission to damage Beta-Carrotina for 4, bringing her health down to 16.
 * 6) Play the Brain Vendor on the environment so that you will get another 6 brains.
 * 7) Finally, play Gargantuars' Feast.
 * 8) Start the fight. If you did it right, then every zombie will deal a devastating damage to Beta-Carrotina by 16 maximum.
 * ...another Brain Vendor, then you will gain another 6 brains, making this the best choice.
 * ...either a Loudmouth or a, then boost a zombie's stats by 2. However, since every zombie is going to be destroyed by the Barrel of Deadbeard's Deadly trait, this is obviously useless.
 * ...an, do a bonus attack by himself.
 * ...a Fireworks Zombie, then Barrel of Deadbeards will damage every plants with its Deadly trait right away.
 * ...a Jester, after Captain Deadbeards damages every plants especially the Jester, he will do 2 damage to Beta-Carrotina, bringing her health down to 14.
 * ...a Celestial Custodian, destroying only Jugger-Nut.
 * ...a Landscaper, decreasing any plant's strength by 2.
 * ...a Trash Can Zombie, this does not work well because he will not be destroyed by Deadly Barrel of Deadbeards and clog a lane where the Brain Vendor was supposed to be played. Due to this, you will not earn enough brains to play Gargantuars' Feast and will fail the challenge. This zombie, on the other hand if you're using the alternative strategy below, is useful as it will guarantee lethal on Beta-Carrotina.
 * ...a Line Dancing Zombie, again the worst choice because she will move to another lane from the environment and give you no brains. You will not gain enough brains and will lose as well if this happens.

Alternatively, you can play Brain Vendor on the Zombies play phase and then play Final Mission on Barrel of Deadbeards and target the Jugger-Nut. This makes the Interdimensional Zombie less risky as it will provide enough brains and space to complete the challenge, and will complete the challenge without Teleport. Still, it is quite risky as you can fail the challenge from getting only Gargantuars that has 5 strength, missing lethal by 1 health (you will instantly die at the end of the turn) unless you are lucky enough to get Jester by Interdimensional Zombie.
