Bananasaurus Rex


 * Not to be confused with Tyrannosaurus Rex, a dinosaur and environmental modifier in Plants vs. Zombies 2.

Bananasaurus Rex is a in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the  class. It costs 4 to play, and has 3/3. It has no traits, and its ability gives it +1/+1 every time the plant hero draws a card, and make it do a bonus attack after the initial combat if it does not get destroyed in the process.

Origins
It is based on the banana, an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous, flowering plants in the genus Musa, and a Tyrannosaurus, more commonly knows as Tyrannosaurus rex, a carnivorous dinosaur in the genus of coelosaurian theropoda dinosauria.

Its name is a portmanteau of the words "banana," the real-life plant this is based on, and "Tyrannosaurus rex," the real-life dinosaur this is based on. It could also be a reference to the famous internet gamer of the same name, though this may just be a coincidence.

With
While it is initially not the most cost effective plant, it can become very strong in the late game. Try to increase its power by using cards that allows the player to draw more cards, like Flourish and Holo-Flora. Bananasaurus Rex also acts as an alternative, but it does not benefit from. However, Team-up plants like Torchwood can protect it in the early turns, because it is weak at the beginning of the game.

Use Flourish to draw more cards to buff it. Party Thyme is a good choice too, since it does a bonus attack and draw cards to buff it. However, it is weak, so make sure to protect Party Thyme. Other plants that can also draw cards like Sage Sage and Bean Counter can also buff it. Mayflower giving the player a card upon hitting the Zombie Hero can also boost Bananasaurus Rex's stats. Keeping a received superpower works too because it counts as drawing a card.

Flourish, Re-Peat Moss, and Banasaurus Rex and possibly Party Thyme together are a great combo. When you play Flourish, Bananasaurus Rex will gain +2/+2 while Re-Peat Moss will attack. Then, Party Thyme will draw a card, boosting Bananasaurus Rex's stats again. Later on, it will draw once more.

Against
The player should target this plant before it grows too powerful, as it also grows when other plant cards let them draw more cards. If it gets out of control, use Rocket Science, Locust Swarm, Deadly zombies, or to destroy it.
