Strategies
With
Laser Bean is a 6-sun 5/7 plant, which isn't very astounding. But thanks to its Strikethrough trait, you can at least use it as a finisher or late-game card, where it can alarm your opponent to react to a plant that is consistently doing 5 damage every turn. It's a very reasonable 'big drop' in the mid-to-late-game, because of its solid body and ability to pressure the opponent. It's a solid card in many 'midrange' Solar decks which aim to drop one big card every turn. the Solar class is also able to quickly ramp up Sun to drop this earlier where the Zombie player may not be able to handle it. Being able to defeat a Zombie Hero in four attacks (barring healing and super-blocks), it's a decent finisher and a general solid plant to challenge the board.
However, it is slow, vulnerable to removal, and doesn't have any immediate effect on the board. It lacks any kind of tribe synergy in its class, let alone any kind of synergy in it, which is another of its downsides.
Against
Laser Bean can be harmful if you leave it alone for too long; it may have average stats, but you have to stay aware that it can still constantly do 5 damage to you every turn. But otherwise, it shouldn't be a huge worry to see on turn 6.
If it seems to be getting in the way, you can easily remove it. Although its health may be an issue to you since 7 health on turn 6 is still a lot, instant-kills can negate it.
