With
Knight of the Living Dead is one of the more unique high-cost cards in the game. Knight of the Living Dead's Armored 2 trait provides near invulnerability against weaker attacks, allowing it to take no damage against plants with 2 strength or less such as Pair of Pears and Chomper (immune to both its attack and its ability), or take heavy hitting attacks such as 2 Cherry Bombs, a Sizzle, or a Smashing Pumpkin.

However, its stats are rather low for its cost, and your opponent may have something to deal with it, like a powered-up Super-Phat Beets. Nevertheless, it can pose a huge threat to your opponent if boosted.

Against
While it is a bit weak for its cost, its Armored 2 trait makes it very hard to destroy. However, since instant-kill tricks bypass the Armored trait, playing Squash or Lawnmower can get rid of it and save you a lot of trouble. Or, as a temporary solution, you can Bounce it with Spring Bean or Jumping Bean. Finally, a plant with 7 or more strength can destroy it in one hit, although the only way you can do it is to boost its strength.
