Strategies
With
By itself, this is kind of like a Vimpire without the ability, so it is underwhelming as a fighter. However, its real strength comes in its Fusion ability, which can boost zombies to an insane level.
Since it gives the zombie both strength and health, Lost Colosseum is good with any zombie. It can make a bulky zombie like Quickdraw Con Man even bulkier, and glass cannons like Fire Rooster hit harder. The Frenzy trait is good with the previously mentioned glass cannons, but also with Ancient Vimpire, and zombies with the Deadly trait like Template:PvZHLink, or an ability that activates when it hurts your opponent, like Dr. Spacetime. This is also particularly useful for Overstuffed Zombie, who can use the newly gained Frenzy trait to destroy any plants in his way and hurt your opponent without taking damage. However, only The Smash can do this normally.
Another positive of Lost Colosseum is that it is most efficient card in the Hearty class in terms of boosting a single zombie. However, if you want to boost multiple zombies at once and have no need for the Frenzy trait, Primeval Yeti and Monster Mash are better, although they are more expensive.
While its history tribe doesn't benefit except making it Conjurable by Escape through Time, its sports tribe benefits it a lot more. It can get boosts from Team Mascot and be protected by Zombie Coach, although using Lost Colosseum to fight is not recommended unless you want to improve its survivability. It also helps if Lost Colosseum is Conjured by Cosmic Sports Star, as you can Fuse a zombie much earlier. Synergy with Ancient Vimpire is also possible, although it is better if you Fuse it to result in a zombie stronger than Lost Colosseum itself.
Against
By itself, this card is quite easy to deal with. The best way to dispose of it is tricks like Berry Blast or Template:PvZHLink. A plant with 3 can also destroy this easily on the turn it is played. If your opponent has already fused on top of it, then tricks like Shamrocket or Template:PvZHLink can take out the newly boosted zombie.
During development, its original name was Angry Colosseum, and its ability gave the zombie Fused +3/+3 and Frenzy instead of +2/+3 and Frenzy. Its stats were also 3/3.
