10/10 Game mechanics
I was gonna put this in Technical Problems, but seems more like a person just had a brain fart when creating this game. How are you going to let something like Heartichoke and Venus FlyTraplanet be us...

With Valkarie, the least you can do is stall until you can either get something like a squash. The heartichoke/flytrap combo, if you start off with nothing that can damage the plant you're pretty much done for. Especially when you use anything that gives you extra sun, you can set it up in just 3-4 rounds. And if you use anything such as heroic health to stall your health, once you have no shields there's almost nothing you can do...
I wouldn't call Valkarie op, that's just waiting for the right moment, but this set-up is honestly broken
I’d say Sergeant/Sergeant is worse.
Either way, these combos do not a broken game make. Magic the Gathering, which has many, many infinite combos, has been around for decades and continues to come out with new cards that are able to combo infinitely. The game is terrific.
PvZ has no truly infinite combos because of the block meter. The best/most degenerate ways to win IMO do not involve two-turn set-ups like Heartichoke, but rather wins w/out triggering block at all as with Cyclecap Astro-Shrooms or a sufficiantly powered Valkyrie.
In Magic the Gathering, which has been around for decades, you can win before turn 1.... and though it is hard, you need neither a perfect hand nor a perfect draw to make it happen.
In PvZ, the fastest wins I have seen or conceived of are turn 2 wins that require almost perfect hands, perfect draws, and specific heroes/superpowers. Neither use Valkyrie, Astro-Shroom, or Heartichoke, and neither is very consistent at winning when it doesn’t work.
