Strategies[]
With[]
Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur has average stats for a card that costs 7 brains, but 8/8 is enough for them to live through several late-game rounds. They also have the Bullseye trait, allowing them to serve as a powerful Bullseye attacker. However, their ability is the truly interesting part. There are several strong history zombies in the game, like Mondo Bronto, Undying Pharaoh, and Knight of the Living Dead, and none of the history zombies are particularly weak, or at least completely useless (except Valkyrie who will just be like a Wall-Nut without Team-Up since her ability activates in your hand). Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur is also in the Brainy class, the class specialized in drawing cards. This means that you don't need to play as a specific hero to use Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur well, all Brainy heroes are able to do so.
Also, take note that if Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur makes a zombie on the aquatic lane, it will always be Mondo Bronto due to them being the only history zombie with the Amphibious trait, so try to fill non-water lines to increase the chance of Mondo Bronto appearing.
However, Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur's ability itself isn't as strong as you might think. One of the problems with this card is that it can be destroyed by tricks like Shamrocket and is also easily blocked by any plant, but you can use Teleport or Teleportation Zombie to avoid this problems. On top of that the idea of making other Dino-Roar or strong history zombies sounds good, Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur being a late-game play renders many history zombies, and even other Dino-Roar zombies weak, as many are either early to mid-game cards or require setup for a few turns. Therefore, this card is good in combination with other finishers like Trickster since how much pressure this card gives.
Their Dino-Roar ability makes zombies, which means that some zombies like Jurassic Fossilhead, Chum Champion, and Valkyrie are weak or useless. Also, unlike other Dino-Roar abilities that can activate as long as you have card draw, Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur's ability becomes much less useful, useless, or even hindering once you set up your defenses properly.
Fortunately, there are many support cards that help mitigate their cons. You can play Cryo-Brain to play Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur earlier so that the history zombies have a higher chance to survive, and bonus attack cards like Lurch for Lunch, Mustache Monument, and Gadget Scientist to put their trait to good use. Parasol Zombie protects Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur from plant tricks.
As for hero-specific strategies, Immorticia and Rustbolt both have boosting tricks that can improve the stats of Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur and the history zombies made, but Rustbolt is better at that aspect as his boosting tricks affect multiple zombies at once, and also has access to Stompadon, which can assist Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur while in your hand.
And finally, Super Brainz and Huge-Gigantacus can give Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur the Strikethrough trait to guarantee a hit to your opponent, or the Deadly trait to make an exchange at the very least for the few plants it can't destroy. You can also play it on top of Buried Treasure if you don't have Teleport and Teleportation Zombie or if you play around Brainana.
Against[]
Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur's stats can be threatening. Their strength is high and the Bullseye trait is troublesome, especially if you cannot stop it from hitting you. The Mega-Grow and Guardian classes have high-health plants and moving cards to prevent Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur from hitting you, while the other classes have heavy damage, stat-degrading, or instant-kill cards that can stop them for good. As for their health, you will need to set up, because 7 health isn't a low amount for most, if not all plants. Due to their high strength, Shamrocket can easily destroy them before they become a bigger threat.
You must also beware of their Dino-Roar ability, which your opponent can easily activate due to the Brainy class' specialty in card draw. While most history zombies won't be particularly threatening by turns 7 and later, they will prevent most plants from hitting your opponent and deteriorate your defenses. You could play Dark Matter Dragonfruit, Brainana, or swarm Forget-Me-Nuts to prevent your opponent from playing tricks that draw or Conjure cards, but they can't stop your opponent from gaining cards with zombie abilities and at the start of every turn.
