Strategies
With
Basically a cheaper and watered-down version of Template:PvZHLink, Whack-a-Zombie is perfect for destroying soon-to-be annoying zombies with low strength like Jester, Template:PvZHLink, Aerobics Instructor, Stompadon, Team Mascot, Template:PvZHLink, or basically anything along those lines. Additionally, it can take out some pesky 3 zombies such as Dolphin Rider, Pool Shark, Abracadaver, etc. However, since this trick cannot destroy zombies with 4 or more strength, it becomes less useful in the later rounds, since there are more zombies that have more than 3. In that case, play Scorched Earth, Weed Whack, or Water Balloons to lower the zombie's strength to allow this trick to destroy it.
Against
Whack-a-Zombie can easily destroy your important zombies in an instant, so beware. You can keep all your zombies' strength at 4 or more, or better, play Template:PvZHLink to give them the Untrickable trait. However, against Wall-Knight, take caution doing the former, as he can also use Template:PvZHLink and Shamrocket.
The best counter is to use a late-game control deck, which will likely have very few zombies with 3 or less strength and thus will clutter your opponent's deck.
