Strategies

With

Typical Beanstalk is a simple 3/3 for 3 unit, which gives it a pretty average statline to work with.

And its ability, as it obviously implies, has synergy with the leafy subset of plants, which includes major stand-ins of the respective tribe like Savage Spinach, Muscle Sprout and the like. But, while this supports that specific subset of plants, that subset of plants doesn't really have a real/serious competitive presence or strategy, really.

So, really, this card may have a place in said deck, but the deck isn't particularly any good. Though, it has a fine statline, so it isn't completely unplayable. Being relatively accessible and having a decent statline to work with, this could find some use in more budgeted Mega-Grow decks, but otherwise, any real competitive deck would never consider this. This is simply outclassed by many 3 cards in the game and doesn't really fit into any competent decks.

In summary, this card is a considerable option if you plan to develop a leafy deck, but leafy decks aren't exactly a very developed strategy at the moment, so that isn't recommended. Though, while being an uncommon card and having a playable statline, it has some utility in less expensive decks, but that's really it.

Against

Typical Beanstalk is no different from your ordinary unit, it doesn't pose any specialized constant ability, or any major presence in any real strategy, so really, there's not a lot to be worried about aside from being a bit more tricky to remove due to its unique statline. Otherwise, you would go about how most static units would be removed.

Trivia

It reuses Magic Beanstalk's older look before the Colossal Fossils update.
- Its description also vaguely alludes to Magic Beanstalk as well.

 ==Strategies==
 ===With===
-Typical Beanstalk is a 3-sun plant with 3{{PvZH Icon|strength}}/3{{PvZH Icon|health}}, meaning that it has average stats. While these stats aren't bad, there are many other plants that can achieve higher stats if kept alive for only a few turns.
+Typical Beanstalk is a simple 3{{PvZH Icon|strength}}/3{{PvZH Icon|health}} for 3{{PvZH Icon|sun}} unit, which gives it a pretty average statline to work with.
+And its ability, as it obviously implies, has synergy with the [[:Category:Leafy_cards|leafy subset of plants]], which includes major stand-ins of the respective tribe like [[Savage Spinach]], [[Muscle Sprout]] and the like. But, while this supports that specific subset of plants, that subset of plants doesn't really have a real/serious competitive presence or strategy, really.
-While its ability to '''Conjure''' a card is the more useful aspect of this plant, you have to play it next to a leafy plant to activate it. So this card isn't necessarily very good, but if you do want to use it, you have to use it in a deck that focuses a lot on leafy plants like {{PvZHLink|Lily Pad}}, [[Muscle Sprout]], and [[Savage Spinach]], because otherwise, there isn't much use to this. But even with its ability, there are better ways to draw or '''[[Card#Conjure|Conjure]]''' cards. If you want to activate '''[[Card#Dino-Roar|Dino-Roar]]''' abilities, the Mega-Grow class has plenty of better cards that can do so.
+So, really, this card may have a place in said deck, but the deck isn't particularly any good. Though, it has a fine statline, so it isn't completely unplayable. Being relatively accessible and having a decent statline to work with, this could find some use in more budgeted {{PvZH Class|Mega-Grow}} decks, but otherwise, any real competitive deck would never consider this. This is simply outclassed by many 3{{PvZH Icon|sun}} cards in the game and doesn't really fit into any competent decks.
-So overall, Typical Beanstalk isn't really recommended in any deck from the start (unless you lack any better cards) because it solely relies on very limited synergy, and from a competitive standpoint, leafy synergy is normally not where you look to draw cards. Several cards in other classes have better utility than Typical Beanstalk like [[Sportacus]] and [[Pumpkin Shell]], and can serve as alternatives even in a leafy deck.
+In summary, this card is a considerable option if you plan to develop a leafy deck, but leafy decks aren't exactly a very developed strategy at the moment, so that isn't recommended. Though, while being an uncommon card and having a playable statline, it has some utility in less expensive decks, but that's really it.

-Typical Beanstalk doesn't have any traits and its stats don't really pose a threat, so try using your own zombies rather than instant-kills to remove it. As for its ability, try to destroy any leafy plants on the field beforehand, because it gives your opponent a card advantage. Any hero with early-game removal can do the job well, although no card can completely counter every leafy card playable by turn 2.
