Strategies[]
With[]
Essentially a more expensive but stronger version of Trash Can Zombie, this zombie is able to destroy a tough plant with 4 health or less and will live for the turn he is played.
One problem with Screen Door Zombie is that he is outclassed by Zombot Battlecruiser 5000, as he costs only 1 less, but has significantly less strength, and only protects himself. However, you can use him as a budget option, or in the same deck.
You can also use this zombie to destroy a plant with 8 health or less, or to stall out Soul Patch as he does 4 damage on the turn when he is shielded, then 4 more damage the next turn.
However, be careful as your opponent can play Shamrocket, Doom-Shroom, or Squash to destroy this zombie after the turn he is played.
Because of his professional tribe, he can synergize with Zombie Middle Manager, but it isn't a good synergy because by the time Screen Door Zombie becomes playable, Zombie Middle Manager will be too weak of a fighter, even after he is boosted. And besides, Zombie Middle Manager will not be able to activate his ability on the turn Screen Door Zombie is played.
Since he also has the Gravestone trait, Neptuna can use this zombie by pairing up with Headstone Carver as he can boost Screen Door Zombie's stats, but she needs to keep Headstone Carver alive until the Zombie Tricks phase of turn 5. She can also use either Mixed-Up Gravedigger or In-Crypted to reactivate Screen Door Zombie's ability again.
Against[]
If you see a Hearty hero that plays a gravestone and nothing else when they have 5 brains, chances are that it may be Screen Door Zombie. If you think you can predict him, or you know that he is, because the opponent played In-Crypted with Neptuna on it last turn, or you have a Spyris, the best plan of action is to ignore it. Screen door zombie only does a measly 4 damage, so it is better to try and develop something better than it. However, if he is going after an important plant, you can play a team-up plant with 5 or more health stalling it out until it can be destroyed. He can be buffed with Intergalactic Warlord or Headstone Carver, so make sure he will not be too much of a threat. You can evenwait until next turn to destroy him with a Shamrocket or Squash.
Like all Gravestone zombies, this zombie's main weaknesses are Grave Buster and EvolvedBlockbuster, as it can instantly destroy him, protecting you or your valuable plants. Grave Mistake and Leaf Blower can also bounce him, making your opponent lose a lot of brains and tempo.
