Brainana

Unreleased

Brainana is a premium super-rare plant card appearing in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Smarty plants. It costs 6 to play and has 3/3 when first planted. Its special effect reduces the opposing Zombie Hero's counter to 0 on the turn it was played.

Origins
Its name is a portmanteau of "brain," referring to its special ability and "banana," an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous, flowering plants in the genus Musa.

Statistics

 * Class: Smarty
 * Tribe: Fruit Plant
 * Effect: Amphibious. When played: The Zombie Hero loses their Brains.
 * Rarity: Premium - Super-Rare

Card description
In this case, "brain drain" is a good thing.

Strategies
Since Zombies play their Teammates before Plants do, Brainana's only use is to prevent the opposing Zombie Hero from playing additional Tricks. It's best to use him in later rounds, as more brains are being produced. Try to see how many cards your opponents' hand has. If there are less than 3 cards in their hand, most likely they have at least one or zero tricks in their hand.

Counters
There isn't really a way to counter this on the turn it was played, unless you have access to Gentleman Zombie where his effect gives you brains at the start of the Zombie Tricks phase.

Trivia

 * Brainana is one of the five plants based on bananas, the other four being Bananasaurus Rex, Banana Tree, Banana Launcher and Banana from Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.
