Card description
"Can you spot me, bro?"

With
While Muscle Sprout's initial stats are poor for a 3-sun plant, you should always take advantage of its ability.

This can be considered as the plant counterpart of Unlife of the Party. But compared to Unlife of the Party, you can play more plants to boost Muscle Sprout due to the existence of Team-Up plants like Wall-Nut or Torchwood. This plant gets stronger the more plants you play, so it is best to plant this at the beginning of the round to gain maximum strength. The player can also play it later when the player has more sun to use.

Muscle Sprout can also synergize well with Potted Powerhouse, as this will get boosted every time you play a plant, constantly increasing Potted Powerhouse's strength and health.

Since this plant boosts itself every time a plant is played, use plants that make more plants such as Shroom for Two, Pair of Pears and Poppin' Poppies as the plants made also boost it. Additionally, the player can play many plants with low sun costs such as Weenie Beanie or.

Against
Destroying this plant can be a struggle, as planting more plants by the plant hero will increase its power. If this is used early, try to destroy it quickly before the plant hero has a chance to boost its stats. Your opponent may also be secretly boosting Potted Powerhouse, possibly making a tougher late-game for you to survive. If this is played late-game, use a powerful zombie, otherwise, Locust Swarm or Rocket Science might be needed. Lastly, zombies that have the Deadly trait like Smelly Zombie can take out Muscle Sprout as well, regardless of its stats.

Trivia

 * Its description is a reference to the phrase "spot me," which is used by weightlifters to ask someone to observe themself while lifting weights, as a safety measure in case the weight the weightlifter is lifting falls onto the weightlifter.
