Card description
''Smackadamia wasn't born with smack and smarts. He studied hard. He's a smackademic.''

Strategies
Not only does this plant have a good amount of and  and has the Amphibious trait, its ability makes a nut-based deck even more defensive. If possible, try to fill the entire 2 lanes with nuts. Using this with Mirror-Nut is a good idea, since Mirror-Nut will have more opportunities to damage the Zombie Hero as the nuts can take more hits. Spineapple can also synergize with this, as it will give nuts more and  (assuming the nuts do not have any strength.)

Against
Its 4 proves to be a bit lacking for the more powerful zombies, such as Rodeo Gargantuar, later on. If this is placed on an aquatic lane, any Amphibious zombie that can take Smackadamia out in one hit, such as Zombot Sharktronic Sub, Deep Sea Gargantuar, Octo Zombie, and Toxic Waste Imp, can counter this. Squirrel Herder can destroy it instantly, since Smackadamia is a nut. However, if all else fails, Rocket Science can also take this out quickly.
