With
It is a very luck-based plant to use, as there's a chance it gives you cards that you don't want, don't synchronize with your deck, or wouldn't give it that much strength, such as, , or Spyris. However, Plucky Clover can also allow you to draw powerful and expensive event cards like or. Either way, it does have a good amount of health, so it can be used to take a few hits against weaker zombies. Because it is in the Mega-Grow class, it can also be boosted with tricks like Fertilize to improve its stats if it did not gain much from its ability.

Plucky Clover is a great card to use with Bananasaurus Rex because its ability draws a card which boosts Bananasaurus Rex.

As Green Shadow, you can also use Rescue Radish to replay it and draw another event card. However, doing this is luck-based as it also resets its strength, and you may draw a card with lower cost than the previous one, resulting in Plucky Clover having lower strength.

A little tip to notice is that Plucky Clover actually benefits from Defensive End's ability, as it gives Plucky Clover extra strength for any plant trick card drawn. For example, Shamrocket gives Plucky Clover +5 while Defensive End is on the field compared to +3 normally.

Against
Plucky Clover can either be a threat or not, depending on the card that is drawn. You can guess, or even tell what your opponent has drawn by the amount of strength Plucky Clover gains, which can be useful in certain situations. If Plucky Clover gets too much strength, Deadly zombies should be able to deal with it. Since it has 4, it is also in the range of being destroyed by Cakesplosion.

Despite its high cost, however, do not Bounce it, as it will allow your opponent to draw another event card that can be powerful, and Plucky Clover could return possibly even stronger than before.

If you are not playing as a hero, you can try other tricks such as Rolling Stone if Plucky Clover gets only +1, or Rocket Science if Plucky Clover gets 4 or more strength and gives your opponent a more expensive event card.

Trivia

 * It is the first event card in the Mega-Grow class.
 * Its description makes a reference to its ability.
 * Currently, the most strength it can get is by drawing Toadstool, giving it +6, while the least strength it can get is by drawing Blooming Heart,, High-Voltage Currant or Spyris, only giving it +1.
 * It was originally in the Kabloom class.
 * This was originally because of how Plucky Clover is luck-based, as it gains a random amount of strength depending on the cost of the event card drawn.
 * When Plucky Clover is played with Bananasaurus Rex on the field, it will do its animation, but only gives the plant hero an Event card, which activates Bananasaurus Rex's ability. It will then do its animation again and gives itself a strength boost.
