Strategies[]
With[]
Cosmic Imp has low stats for 3, but makes it up for his Deadly trait and his ability of Conjuring an Imp that will also get Deadly. Offensively, always use Cosmic Imp against a strong plant, as even with his low stats, he will be able to destroy the plant as long as he doesn't get destroyed before the "Fight!" phase, unless that plant has the Armored trait.
With Cosmic Imp's ability, you can get any Imp such as Imp Commander and Walrus Rider, or even ones like Space Cowboy. While the Deadly trait doesn't benefit Imp synergization directly due to Imp Commander only activating his ability when an Imp damages your opponent (who doesn't get affected by Deadly), it does help with troublesome plants blocking the way. However, you can also get cards that do not benefit from Deadly like Triplication (which is a non-damaging trick) and Toxic Waste Imp (which gives all Imps Deadly anyway).
This zombie is generally easy to destroy, as he has 1/1. However, do not be fooled if he is played on a lane with a strong plant, as he can destroy it very easily. You must also watch out for Imps that has just Conjured by him since they will also have Deadly.
Since he costs the same as Smelly Zombie but with much lower stats and without the Gravestone trait, you can use tricks like Banana Bomb or Water Balloons to destroy him. Also, do notBounce him unless you are able to win this turn, as he can be replayed to Conjure another Imp with Deadly.

Trivia[]
Just like Medic, he lacks legs. This can be seen when he activates his ability.
For some unknown reason, Cosmic Imp's pointing hand texture is found in Stupid Cupid's textures. While it isn't directly on the sprite sheet, it does appear that the file holds multiple sheets of Stupid Cupid's sprites.
He has the lowest base strength out of all Deadly zombies, at 1.
He's also the only Deadly with less than two base strength. As such, he can't destroy Armored plants without help from boosting tricks.
