She wishes the Zombies a pleasant trip back home, but you know she's lying. Poison Grass is too cheap. It overthrows Prickly Pear, but is apparently just as costly. Poison Grass actually has raw Str, which Prickly Pear lacks, the ability to actually deal damage do gravestones, which I believe is a first for the game, a slightly bigger health pool than, again, Prickly Pear. Perhaps setting its rarity to Event keeps things 'balanced', but whatever. Maybe it is meant to overthrow Prickly Pear completely. I won't judge if that's your objective. It also references itself in a manner in its description, which I find to be lame.

Hurri-Cane... everything aside, is it based on sugar canes? Anyway, like Poison Grass, it apparently has the capability to deal direct damage to gravestones. And just to clarify, if a card is bounced, its stats are reset, which makes the ability of Hurri-Cane worthless anyway. Being damaged by 3 Hp is different than getting -3 Hp AFTER being bounced. It also seems like you had a bit of reference from PvZ 2's Hurrikale, so it might have been better if you just used it instead. Another thing I find kinda lame.

Prickly Pear has Team-Up, which Poison Grass lacks. And since Poison Grass' ability targets two random lanes, it has the change to hit an empty lane and be useless, unlike Prickly Pear which guarantees 4 damage. (But then again, Splash Damage zombies from the Crazy class are a thing in my world.)

The last sentence in the first paragraph...lemme say that your Jack of Fruits also references itself in its description.

Hurrikale? Don't compare Hurri-Cane to that wannabe. That thing just blows zombies back. Hurri-Cane generates real hurricanes from her stem. Hurri-Cane is an added bonus to your typical bouncing: the ability to actually destroy low-health zombies before they are bounced, even though it can't destroy the higher-health ones. Hurri-Cane also shuts down Secret Agent plays on a lot of zombies, as it does damage before Secret Agent boosts them. Oh, and Hurri-Cane stacks.

Although, if you think a lower cost or stronger ability would benefit, I have no problem with that. In fact...I might add a "When played" ability.

Let's just say that it's always darkest under the lighthouse.
