Strategies[]

Quasar Wizard isn't much by himself, but his ability is a huge help. You can get game-changing superpowers like Terror-Former 10,000, Slammin' Smackdown and Carried Away, and it may be able to patch certain weaknesses you have. Even if you get a weaker superpower, it will still be able to make a meaningful impact in the game since you can obtain it early. Therefore, you should always try to play him on lanes where he can activate his ability. And even after being played, he isn't completely useless, as he can be used to block plants or be used for Evolution in general if he does survive. He can also be used to activate Valkyrie's ability, or be used as a zombie to sacrifice to play final mission.
An optimal way to use Quasar Wizard is to play a 1 zombie on the first turn, then play Quasar Wizard next to it. Zombies like Planetary Gladiator, Quickdraw Con Man and Cat Lady are naturally tanky, while Amphibious zombies like Ducky Tube Zombie are hard to remove for the right opponent.
Free zombies like Goat and Swabbie also count, as they can be played right before Quasar Wizard on turn 2 (Electric Boogaloo and Impfinity only). But if you play him a bit later in the game, it is worth noting that Zombies currently in gravestones do not activate his ability.
You can reactivate his ability as Impfinity by using Mixed-Up Gravedigger (although if it is the first zombie that pops out of a gravestone, and you do not play any fighters next door, you will not get a superpower.), In-Crypted or Firefighter, while as Electric Boogaloo you can use Secret Agent., and the latter also makes Quasar Wizard threatening against your opponent.
Professor Brainstorm can use this in conjunction with Mustache Waxer to play the superpower similarly to if it were free, assuming that it is played on the same turn.
For further information, here are the superpowers that he can Conjure:
While Quasar Wizard's stats aren't great and thus can be easily destroyed, his ability is the troublesome part. The only way to prevent him from activating his ability is to destroy every zombie on the field; while this is an easy task early-game, it may waste a lot of cards in your hand later on. It is also not guaranteed the opponent has a Quazard. However, you can play an anti-trick plant like Forget-Me-Nuts, Black-Eyed Pea, Brainana or Dark Matter Dragonfruit. to try prevent your opponent from playing the superpower.
The heroes you should watch out for the most would be Impfinity and Z-Mech, as their Sneaky and Hearty cards respectively synergize very well with Quasar Wizard. If you see a Graveyard in play and a gravestone in it is next to a zombie, it is possible that the gravestone contains Quasar Wizard.
Play Grave Buster or Grave Mistake to shut him down. It is also best to destroy any Dr. Spacetimes or Zombology Teachers on the field, because otherwise, you will have to deal with a free superpower. Either way, Quasar Wizard shouldn't be kept alive for long, as Impfinity has cards that can reactivate his ability.
Trivia[]
Although the card is called "Quazar Wizard," when you conjure a superpower from him, it will say the superpower is conjured by "Quazard," hence the description.
If one looks at the superpower he Conjures, it will say it was "Conjured by Quazard" (one of his former names), instead of "Conjured by Quasar Wizard". This is likely a reference to his card's flavor text.
There was a rare glitch where he had the capability of Conjuring unreleased superpowers, namely Huge-Gigantacus' superpowers. This was fixed with Huge-Gigantacus' release.
When he is played, the player can hear him say, "Wow".
He, Clique Peas and Banana Launcher are the only cards that can speak audible English when they are played.
