Virus Liatris: Solar

Flower Plant

Cost: 3 Sun

Stats: 3/3

When this does damage: Shuffle two Going Viral into the zombie heroes deck.

Usage: This is solar as it will reduce the number of zombies played, as their deck will become clogged with this trick. It would make controlling easier as you have fewer zombies to outright destroy

Smuggler Zombie: Sneaky

Pirate Zombie

Cost: 4 Brains

Stats: 2/2

Gravestone. When Revealed: Make a 1/1 Swabbie. When a Pirate hurts the plant hero: Steal a section of their block meter.

Neurologist: Brainy

Science Professional Zombie

Cost: 4 Brains

Stats: 3/5

When a Science Zombie does damage: It gains Bullseye. Science Evolution: You get +2 Brains for the rest of the game.

Disintergration Experiment: Brainy

Science Trick

Cost: 8 Brains

When you play a Science card: This costs 1 Brain less. Destroy all plants that cost 2 sun or less.

Dew Daffodil: Smarty

Flower Plant

Cost: 4 Sun

Stats: 3/6

When a plant or zombie thaws: Conjure a Cup of Water.

Note: Thaw means losing the freeze status by attacking

Cup of Water: Trick, Cost: 1 Sun. A plant gets +1/+1 I think Liatris should give more than it's cost(maybe a 3/4 or 4/4) since it's benefits aren't direct, if even existent at times.

Smuggler Zombie just gives Mars Flytrap's effects to other Pirates, and it summons a 1/1... honestly barely a 2-cost IMO.

DAMN dat Neurologist Evolution! I get there's stuff like Fossilhead, but that doesn't excuse this kind of stuff. You sure that'd be balanced?

Disintegration Exp. is WAY too expensive for something that's only really effective early-game tbh, even with the decreasing cost effect. Honestly that effect is better attatched to finisher or end-game comeback cards rather than this early-game demolisher.

I have nothing against Dew's ability, but I just don't like 4-cost 3/6s... they're barely under Wing-Nut-OP's stats. But I really like that effect. Seems like a nice addition to a Freeze deck. I made Liatris a 3/3 since it's effect maybe beneficial to certain zombies. It's intended for control solar decks, as you have fewer zombies to destroy.

Smuggler Zombie is a 2/2, but makes a 1/1 Pirate in a lane of your choice when revealed, meaning you can place it in a empty lane and it will benefit from the Smuggler's effect, hence I made it a bit costly.

One thing I noticed with evolution effects is the zombies/plants with somehwat worse stats than you'd expect have much better evolution effects.

Example: Fossilhead is a 2/3 Untrickable, pretty good stats and ability right? Evolution ability is a +2/+2, so it's worth about 2 Brains.

But then there's Lizard Zombie which is a 3-cost 3/2 which is TERRIBLE on it's own, but it's evolution effect is Do 2 damage to all plants, basically a Chickening which is worth 4 Brains.

Also check out Cheese Monger. 4-cost 4/3. Bad, but the evolution effect is destroy a plant. That's a Locust Swarm that ignores Untrickable.

The Neurologist I intended to be somewhat weak, then have a powerful evolution ability which is 2 Cryo-Brains. It's primary effect is somewhat inferior to Zombie Drone Engineer, as it only buffs Science Zombies once (Bullseye) where as Drone Engineer will keep giving +1 Strength. I may reduce it to a 3/4

Disintergration was intended to be a counter to cheap spam decks, but felt it would become as hated as Weedspray if it was cheap, so I made it expensive but cheaper if you play Science cards. I'll probably tone it down to 5 Brains.

Dew Daffodil I had trouble deciding stats, but I ended up trying to make them slightly better than Winter Squash as conjuring a plant's Yeti-Box for freezing a zombie seems inferior to outright destroying a zombie.

My other idea was a 3-cost 2/4 with a plant evolution ability: Freeze a zombie

P.S: Imagine a Frozen Viking freezing a field full of plants, then the plant hero playing Dew Daffodil before combat. Plant dinos be going insane
