Card description
Some nights sundown comes early...

With
Ra Zombie is useful for delaying the plant player's attempt at using cost-heavy cards such as, Dandy Lion King, Three-Headed Chomper, The Great Zucchini, and most plants to turn the tide of battle. Otherwise, Ra Zombie is not a particularly great card: His 3/4 stat is worth 3 at best, so theoretically, he will leave the zombie hero at a 1 disadvantage for the turn he is played. In addition, he does not benefit from any tribe. Thus, he is best used on the 6th turn in which he can prevent several expensive plants, but not a few, cheap, powerful ones such as Doubled Mint.

Ra Zombie is most effective when used with, as Flag Zombie's ability allows Ra Zombie to be played earlier, when the plant hero has fewer sun to able to play plants.

Unless in desperate needs, do not use Teleport on Ra Zombie. Doing this is useless, as he will only act as a meat shield, and his ability will go to waste. Other zombies such as Drum Major are much better choices to teleport in this type of situation. The same will apply to Mixed-Up Gravedigger and In-Crypted as the plant hero cannot play anything after, making Ra Zombie's ability useless.

Against
When playing against a Hearty zombie hero, always be prepared in turn 6, as the hero is able to summon this anytime. There are not many counters to this zombie, so try to keep cheap tricks such as Berry Blast to potentially destroy threatening zombies. Using and  will be able to cause Ra Zombie to have little or no effect on your sun at all, as Ra Zombie only makes you lose 2.

Trivia

 * His ability is a reference to how he attempts to steal sun that falls out of the sky in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
