 * It has short range which requires it to be put in the front rows as the Wizards stay back. Short range plants are never that good in countering.


 * We don't even know at this point whether it gets transformed into sheep or not. If it does, then there is no point at all as it will get transformed before it has the chance to transform Wizards.


 * It seems to me that the sun cost in later Arthur's Challenge levels will come back to bite.


 * Once again, this freaking thing has a recharge fo sorts. When Wizards come in hordes during a wave, I doubt this will be able to cunter them.

Not really points for being a counter or not but:


 * It transforms zombies into the weakest mushroom possible which will also disappear after some time. Why not random mushrooms? Why not some actual useful plants? Why a mere Puff-shroom?


 * Plant Food effect is also underwhemling to say the least. Toadstool..the mushroom that takes a long time chewing after killing just one zombie and from that video, all the Toadstools spawned were eaten by the next zombie anyway making the transformation pointless and a waste of Plant Food.

Once again, should have been Plant Food boosted mushrooms spawned instead of one just slightly better mushroom than Puff-shroom.

Overall, this plant has potential but in the end turned out to be average.

Well, next stop Parsnip. Let's see how they botch that one.
