Strategies
With
While initially not the most cost-effective plant, Bananasaurus Rex can become very strong in the late game. However, since her base stats aren't that great, Bananasaurus Rex needs to get some stat boosts to truly shine.
Aside from pure stat-boosting cards, you can also increase her stats by drawing and conjuring cards, examples being Flourish and Holo-Flora. Party Thyme is a very good choice too, since Bananasaurus Rex does a bonus attack after she has finished attacking in the Fight! phase, causing it to draw at least one extra card per turn. While all other classes have ways to draw cards as well, Green Shadow is arguably the best hero in terms of card draw due to the Smarty class' abundance of card draw cards like Sow Magic Beans, Planet of the Grapes, and Lima-Pleurodon.
Flourish, Re-Peat Moss, Bananasaurus Rex, and possibly Party Thyme together are a great combo. When you play Flourish, Bananasaurus Rex will gain +2/+2 while Re-Peat Moss does a bonus attack. With Party Thyme as well, you will draw another card, boosting Bananasaurus Rex's stats by +1/+1 again.
Bananasaurus Rex can also act as a superior alternative to Repeater; while she does not benefit from Torchwood or The Podfather, she will outperform the combo given a few turns.
But due to her being able to amass her stats greatly, she will become a prime target for instant-kills and certain zombies. Fortunately, the Mega-Grow class does have access to Umbrella Leaf, who can make Bananasaurus Rex immune to tricks. As for zombies, every hero has a way to deal with them: Grass Knuckles and Green Shadow have Team-Up plants to protect Bananasaurus Rex (Green Shadow can also Bounce zombies), while Captain Combustible and Chompzilla have removal cards.
It is not recommended to play her when Bonus Track Buckethead or Gargantuar Mime is on the field. Due to her Double Strike trait, Bonus Track Buckethead can disable her bonus attack, while Gargantuar Mime can do a bonus attack because she is not in the mime tribe.
Against
You should target this plant before she becomes too strong, but she is rather hard to deal with on the turn she is played unless boosted. This is because most tricks cannot deal with her efficiently and will need support, and the tricks that can (Knockout, Electrobolt, and Slammin' Smackdown) are limited. In addition, brains will likely be spent, and there will be no time for tricks. If she gets out of control, use instant-kill cards like Rocket Science, Locust Swarm, Deadly zombies, and Zombot Sharktronic Sub to destroy her. If none of these options are available, destroy plants that supply your opponent with more cards such as Mayflower and Party Thyme to slow down the process of boosting Bananasaurus Rex. And unless necessary (such as deliberately boosting her before playing Rocket Science), do not use Regifting Zombie, Wormhole Gatekeeper, Exploding Fruitcake or Unexpected Gifts, or she will get stronger.
You can also disable her Double Strike trait by having Bonus Track Buckethead on the field, or have Gargantuar Mime on the field to make your opponent think twice before playing her, considering that she is not in the Mime tribe.
