Card description
''After years of studying Gargantuars in the wild, she's dedicated herself to telling the world they're just misunderstood gentle giants. So far, nobody's buying it.''

With
Gargologist is mainly useful for almost any hero, especially if you bring many Gargantuars in a deck. While she is on the board, you can have a chance to play Gargantuars and Gargantuar tricks such as Smashing Gargantuar or Imp-Throwing Gargantuar for fewer after the Gargologist is played in the previous round. If you are planning to play a Gargantuar card on a turn, play her first as the cost for her and the ability's price decrease to other Gargantuar cards allows for twice as much lawn coverage at the same brain cost as well as decreasing the cost of future cards given Gargologist survives combat.

With The Smash, you can play Zombot 1000 to destroy plants earlier while with, you can play Gargantuars' Feast earlier, making a potential game end. Rustbolt can use this in a science deck as a good zombie to use turn 2, however, cards like Beam Me Up could replace her for its ability to be played during the tricks phase. Neptuna can only use her with Surprise Gargantuar, Wannabe Hero, and Rodeo Gargantuar. However, two of those benefit from the Gravestone trait, so Headstone Carver can boost these zombies very early in the match, especially Surprise Gargantuar.

Here are the list of Gargantuar cards that can be lowered when Gargologist is played. The number represents the cost with the arrow shows the  cost change when Gargologist is on the board.
 * Smashing Gargantuar (5 → 3)
 * Deep Sea Gargantuar (6 → 4)
 * Nurse Gargantuar (7 → 5)
 * Zombot 1000 (9 → 7)
 * Wizard Gargantuar (6 → 4)
 * Zombot's Wrath (3 → 1)
 * Imp-Throwing Gargantuar (5 → 3)
 * Gargantuars' Feast (12 → 10)
 * Rodeo Gargantuar (7 → 5)
 * Wannabe Hero (7 → 5)
 * Surprise Gargantuar (5 → 3)
 * Zombot Stomp (7 → 5)
 * Slammin' Smackdown (1 → 0)

Against
Try to destroy her as quickly as possible as the opponent can play dangerous Gargantuars very early, such as Smashing Gargantuar, Imp-Throwing Gargantuar, and Surprise Gargantuar. However, this is more dangerous with The Smash, as he has the most Gargantuars out of all the heroes that can normally use Gargologist. Because Gargologist has averaged stats, she can be easily destroyed with plant tricks such as Berry Blast.
