Card description
''I could destroy everything you hold dear. It wouldn't be hard.''

With
Doom-Shroom is effective at clearing the field of zombies with 4 strength or more, allowing you to regain control of the field. However, it can also destroy plants that have 4 strength of more, forcing you to trade to save yourself.

Due to it being able to destroy multiple stronger zombie fighters, such as Zombot Sharktronic Sub or Wannabe Hero with just 5 sun needed, but destroying stronger plant fighters, such as Kernel Corn or The Great Zucchini, makes this trick itself a mixed bag. Due to this problem, try to use this card as a last resort, where you are low on plant fighters, while your opponent is overwhelming you with stronger zombie fighters. This trick is best used to counter Zombot 1000 and Gargantuars' Feast.

Avoid using this trick immediately right after all your lanes have been filled with Cornucopia, as you may destroy that plant itself as well as some of the newly created plants with Cornucopia's ability. However, if you want to trigger some plants to the death to activate its ability, this will be a good choice. For example, Grapes of Wrath.

Against
While playing as the zombie hero, this trick can easily punish the player for playing powerful fighters. It is important to be careful while facing against Guardian heroes, as they might use this at any time and destroy your strongest zombies. Try to place powerful zombies with 3 strength or less, such as Barrel Roller Zombie and Foot Soldier Zombie.

If you need to deploy a strong zombie by avoiding the risk of Doom-Shroom destroying it, you can use Teleport to play it in the tricks phase.

Make sure you don't boost your zombies to or over the 4 mark. It is likely that your opponent will use it on the plant phase.
