With the new cards, Pineclone is very versatile and is extremely strong when paired up with Molekale. No specific class counters it. Pecanolith is immediately nerfed on every hero except Spudow because if you take damage, you lose strength. Crazy can just double Chickening for -4 strength, Brainy can bonus attack, and Hearty can increase their damage, basically giving them a buff. Crazy can also Double Chickening to destroy all Pineclones, so how is that an advantage that Pineclone has over Pecanolith? Thats 8 brains when this can be played on turn 4. Pecanolith is more expensive so you can double C sooner. Pecanolith is more expensive... by 1. Yeah, definitely.

Also, Double C is more threatening to Pineclone, cause it actually destroys them all instead of just giving them -4/-4. Usually Pineclone decks aim for early victory. If your opponent makes it through, the late game can be handled by Grapes of Wrath and other finishers.

And Barrel of Chickening can also do the trick but it is cheaper. Teleport may be needed, but even then that's still 7 brains and 2 cards. Well... it's kinda hard to compare decks since I don't think anyone has even made a usable Pecanolith-centric deck. Nah, I was talking about ways to counter Pineclone.

Yesterday I finally encountered Pecanolith on multiplayer. Too bad when the opponent thought it was foolproof, the gravestone revealed itself to be a Rodeo Garg. And he had 6 hp left. I met this person on ranked who played Pecanolith.

Too bad I was the Smash and had three Camel Crossings in my hand.
