Card description
Never gets tired of the rubber chicken gag.

With
This is a really strong zombie. Not just because he is capable of fitting in a lot of decks if the player is skilled enough, the player can even use this zombie mid-game, and then end with a quick win. If you decided to bring him, you want to bring a lot of tricks with at least Beam Me Up and Hail-a-Copter to make zombies during trick phase.

Using him along with Paparazzi Zombie is a good strategy, as both benefit from playing tricks. Paparazzi Zombie will become more powerful after each trick is played, and Trickster will become cheaper while in the zombie hero's hand. Be aware if the plant hero has a Black-Eyed Pea on the lawn, though, as this plant will gain a buff when the zombie hero plays tricks.

Using this with Teleport allows the player to play it and Trickster for the same price as only Trickster in the zombies play phase, meaning that the player could save him for the zombie tricks phase for a powerful plant that might come in the player's way.

If you have this in your hand right at the starting turn, you can spam cheap tricks such as Bungee Plumber or Yeti Lunchbox to reduce his brain cost, then play him on the early turn on an empty lane to do 6 free damage to the plant hero. Just be warned that his ability of making it cheaper can only work if this is in your hand.

Against
This zombie is a tough zombie to handle and counter. Being 6/6 for the price varying between 0-10, he is a tough zombie at any time, with his powerful bonus attack once played. Almost everything will be destroyed, unless he has a lot of health, or is shielded.

To counter him, it is preferable that the player is playing as due to his superpower shielding all plants for one turn. While it may not be required, it will greatly negate this zombie's power.

Briar Rose can also be a good counter to this zombie due to its ability. Filling all Ground and Heights lanes with flowers can destroy Trickster no matter where it is played.

As a last resort, if the plant hero wants to keep the sacrifice at minimum, the player should consider using if the player has it and is using the Solar class.

Generally, the player can also bounce this zombie back into the zombie hero's deck, as the price tag will be reset. However, beware that the zombie can reuse his bonus attack when played again.
