Coal-Miner Zombie

(...) Rain-Crop as a Plant equivalent for Turkey Rider sounds really good, maybe even stronger since Plants could better use it to make trades while also getting the Rain Clouds on their hands.

Coal Miner sounds very interesting, definitely one of the best ideas I've seen that hamper with your opponent's hand, but the stats are a bit too weak; 1 attack means that Armored plants can prevent him from activating its ability altogether, and 4 health is also a bit on the low side for a 4 cost zombie, personally I'd make him a 4 cost 2/5 and make the Coal only increase the cost of plants by 1, as to not make him overpowered. Bullseye also means the plant hero cannot block him, negating the effect. I don't want to make the Coal Miner too powerful because if he attacks multiple times via bonus attacks (He is Brainy Class) he can easily fill the plant hero's hand with Coal, increasing the price of plants by 1 Sun for every Coal.

This could force the plant hero to spend turns just playing coal to get rid of it, as they cannot afford any plants.
