Card description
"It's true. I'm prickly on the outside but spongy on the inside."

Strategies
Cactus' ability to have five base Health can be a benefit, since it costs only 2 sun, allowing it to be planted early in-game, making it hard for many Zombie Card to instantly kill it during those turns. Due to this, using this Card as a reliant defensive wall to protect other Team-Up plants behind it, such as Carrotillery. On top of it, having Bullseye will prevent the Zombie Hero from gaining Tricks to immediately take it out.

Counters
Using Zombie Cards or Tricks that can nullify both Strength and Health, such as Pied Piper or Nibble, will be able to prevent it from attacking, as well as being closer to destroying it without needing the "Fight" phase to initiate. Bouncing it with Backyard Bounce will expose the plant it is defending, if there is one, making that plant vulnerable to damage.
