Regifting Zombie is an eventzombiecard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Brainy class. He costs 3 to play and has 3/2. He does not have any traits, and his ability Conjures a random Zombie for the Zombie Hero and it gets +1/+1; the Plant Hero will Conjure a random Plant and it will get -1/-1.
He was introduced in the 2016 Feastivus event from December 14, 2016 to December 20, 2016 alongside Jolly Holly, and was available as the first event card to be obtained with tickets. As of February 7, 2017, he was made craftable.
The term "Regifting" was popularized by an episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld ("The Label Maker"). The "social faux pas or recycling" part of his description may be a reference to the fact that the characters treat regifting as a bad thing.

Strategies[]
With[]
Regifting Zombie is a mid-game option, as he costs 3 and has 3/2, which are average stats mid-game. Compared to Cell Phone Zombie, who gives you 1 card, Regifting Zombie gives a boosted card, albeit at the cost of your opponent also gaining 1 card with stats slightly reduced. In that case, be careful of playing him if your opponent has a low amount of cards. In addition, it may be wise to swap Regifting Zombie for Fun-Dead Raiser if the risk is higher than the reward. Otherwise, the plant hero may obtain cards that can help stop your attack. However, in terms of fighting, he is essentially a Fire Peashooter for zombies.
You can also use it to activate your Dino-Roar abilities. Be wary when there are Dino-Roar plants such as Bananasaurus Rex on the field, as it will get boosted when Regifting Zombie is played.
Also avoid using him while Captain Cucumber is on the field, as he will make the card the plant hero conjures cheaper.
As Super Brainz or Huge-Gigantacus, you can use Firefighter or Mixed-Up Gravedigger to reactivate his ability. However, like said, be careful on when to do this, as you supply the plant hero with a random card that can be either powerful, putting you in a bad spot. At the same time, however, this combo can be devastating if used in a mill deck with other cards such as Pogo Bouncer and Zombot Stomp, as the plant hero cannot play anything while Gravestone zombies are revealed and they cannot block when there are 10 cards in their hand. They can also pair him with Swashbuckler Zombie and Captain Flameface. He can also be paired with Dr. Spacetime to make the card you conjure cheaper.
You can use this with Quickdraw Con Man to do 1 unblockable damage to the opposing hero, and 2 extra damage from Tankylosaurus, although only Professor Brainstorm can pull this off normally.
Overall, while Regifting Zombie is good at helping you get more strong options to play, along with Tempo from it's 3-2 stats. However due it's randomness of his ability, it can either provide you a card that's you won't use anyways or cards that don't synergize with your deck at all, if the plants are in a bad spot may allow them to get the cards they need to make a comeback, but at the same time it's RNG based.
Against[]
Regifting Zombie is a rather easy zombie to handle due to his average stats for the point of the game in which he is usually played in (although 3 strength is enough to take down many plants). However, his gimmick, which makes each player draw a card, can be both beneficial or a waste of space, as you could get good cards or ones that are less useful. But for most, you may obtain cards that could help you win the game if you are low on cards.
Regardless of the type of cards you get, if you have a plant with Dino-Roar on the field, it will get a boost when Regifting Zombie is played, as you get a card for free.
However, if you manage to have a lot of cards in your hand, you do need to be careful if Regifting Zombie is played as it prevents you from getting a Super-Block if you are holding 9 to 10 cards.

Trivia[]
Regifting Zombie is currently bugged: Instead of drawing a **Plant** card or **Zombie** card like its text describes, it instead conjures **any** card.
If Regifting Zombie conjures a Plant card with 1, it sets the of that card to 0, and when it is played it gets destroyed instantly, such as when they are played on Total Eclipse, but will not play their **When played:** animation. Exceptions include Lil' Buddy, who still heals you for 2 before being destroyed, and Kernel-Pult, which, when played on Heights, gives a Zombie -1/-1 before being destroyed.
