Card description
Life comes and goes, but proper manners are forever.

Strategies
This zombie can help the player by using tricks to evade plant attacks and to damage the Plant Hero during the midgame. Because it gives 2 brains each zombie trick wave, the player won't be able to use these brains on placing zombies. So using these brains on tricks are the player's only method of using this zombie correctly. In addition, while having 2 strength, it also has 3 health, so it has a good chance of surviving one turn. If the plant hero cannot destroy this zombie when it is the plants', the 2 brains will be given right off the bat, instead of having to wait a turn.

Try to have it along with Mad Chemist and Paparazzi Zombie on the lawn, they will be a deadly combo. Since Mad Chemist gives you a random trick, it is important to have more brain to prepare what he will give you. Paparazzi gets a buff when you play a trick, so these three zombies have a good combination.

Immorticia can use this zombie to her advantage as she can launch lethal tricks that can usually only be played much later. Some examples are a Maniacal Laugh or even a Teleport + Zombot 1000 combo. As such, keeping these zombies alive when your deck is mostly trick-oriented is a very important point.

Counters
The plant hero will probably not be able to destroy this zombie when played, as 3 health is hard to kill a zombie with only tricks. Thus, the plant hero should prepare for a series of tricks. Plan accordingly and avoid using powerful plants to damage this zombie, as the zombie hero can easily use a trick to dispose of it. Using tricks however, will be one good method, as well as bouncing this zombie, such as using Spring Bean. Fire Peashooter can take this out in one hit, though the Zombie Hero can easily use a trick such as Nibble or Bungee Plumber to keep it alive. If the Gentleman Zombie happens to be in the middle lane and you have Green Shadow's Precision Blast, you can destroy it easily.
