Strategies

With

Summoning is, alongside Eureka, a rather potentially rewarding but unreliable superpower, as its result can range anywhere from something as weak as Baseball Zombie to some formidable ones like Cat Lady, Cuckoo Zombie, Gargologist, Toxic Waste Imp, and even Teleportation Zombie.

Just like tricks that make zombies such as Beam Me Up or Hail-a-Copter, this trick is versatile, being able to block or destroy a plant after your opponent has finished playing, or lane some damage to your opponent. When getting this from a block, it is best to see if there is a good lane to fill a zombie with. Otherwise, you could save it for later in a pinch.

While being a minor synergy, Professor Brainstorm can use this to boost Unlife of the Party for a cheap price, or boost any Valkyries in his hand, as most zombies made by this card have poor survivability.

Here is the list of zombies Summoning can make:

Skunk Punk Pied Piper Zookeeper Dog Walker Snorkel Zombie Haunting Zombie Haunting Ghost Squirrel Herder Biodome Botanist Cat Lady Cheese Cutter Cyborg Zombie Fraidy Cat Energy Drink Zombie Synchronized Swimmer Goat Killer Whale Cardboard Robot Zombie Paparazzi Zombie Chimney Sweep Space Cadet Cell Phone Zombie Pool Shark Zombot Drone Engineer Cosmic Scientist Neutron Imp

Interdimensional Zombie Teleportation Zombie Leprechaun Imp Mustache Waxer Backup Dancer Cuckoo Zombie Tennis Champ Unlife of the Party Conga Zombie Newspaper Zombie Loose Cannon Space Ninja Mystery Egg Aerobics Instructor Disco-Naut Quickdraw Con Man Barrel of Deadbeards Quasar Wizard Impfinity Clone Grave Robber Disco Dance Floor Zombie's Best Friend Baseball Zombie Conehead Arm Wrestler

Flag Zombie Zombie Middle Manager Sumo Wrestler Planetary Gladiator Genetic Experiment Zombology Teacher Gargologist Turkey Rider Imp Mini-Ninja Fishy Imp Headstone Carver Zombie Chicken Hot Dog Imp Swashbuckler Zombie Ice Pirate Swabbie Toxic Waste Imp Ducky Tube Zombie Dr. Spacetime Imposter Fire Rooster Imp-Throwing Imp Buried Treasure Monkey Smuggler

Against

The zombie made by this trick can range from something as weak as Imp to something as strong, helpful, or dangerous as Toxic Waste Imp, Turkey Rider, or Gargologist. As a result, you might want to make sure that you have a plant on each lane in order to be prepared, but you might want to protect the most important ones, as the zombie made by Summoning can easily take care of weak plants such as Sunflower.

Trivia

• In it's bio, a "blind date" is a relationship between two people who have never met, this refers to how it can summon zombies that the player may not have unlocked yet.
