Berries MUST be Nerfed
I have never called for nerfing before. I also thought some of the nerfing, like with Valkyrie, were maybe not needed but still was not upset about it. But now I feel the Strawberrian/Strongberry com...

I don't understand the word "meta" in this context...can you please explain?
As I have said before, I feel like I have to play only anti-berry decks to be competitive as a zombie. That is very narrow and restricting for a game with this much richness and variety.
In card games the most common metagame design usually follows a rock-paper-scissor pattern. Each deck will be strong against a certain type of deck, but weak against another. Often, one of those decks also happens to be very strong against less than tier 1 decks, while the others not so much. That is the case of the Berries deck. It also happens to have quite a low rarity count making it very accessible (it's ironic that in all card games the same people who complain about the game being too expensive also complain about popular but accessible decks being too strong) and thus very popular.
If Berries are "Rock" then Armour/sports and gravestone/mill decks are "paper". Unfortunately, Ramp is plant's "scissors" in that case. Then Valk OTK becomes your zombies "Rock" in this analogy. Anyway, there are plenty of decks that beat each other, but what Dalnii is getting at is that too many plant players are playing "Rock" but zombie players insist on playing scissors decks or simply tier 2 decks that aren't effective.
That makes sense. But I think in this case, soooo many people are playing just ONE Rock, and not "all paper" decks are really that effective against it.
One question: Please post or describe a single Zombie deck that has that much power for such low cost with zero legacy cards. :-)
What's a legacy card?
No matter. My favourite consistent Zombie deck is dance aggro for Boogaloo.
The base package is based on these cards:
Bungee Plumber
Disco-Naut
Aerobics Instructor
Conga Zombie
Disco Dance Floor
Cosmic Dancer
Flamenco Zombie
Final Mission.
Also Disco-Tron.
Quick draw con man is also very strong even though it's not a dance card, but it's very aggressive. Gizzard Lizard also works well as mass removal. Area 22 is probably the best environment for the deck.
You can add legends like Binary Stars, Head Hunter and Valkarie, but they are not required.
This is fairly fast aggro deck. It doesn't have the best of matchups against Berries, though it certainly holds it's own. The valk helps against that deck due to her higher health. Against most Plant decks, it's so fast that it is very consistent.
Sorry I meant Legendary.
That is a strong deck, and I have similar ones. In fact, early on it was one of my favorite decks. I still don't think it matches Berries in terms of win rates etc ... especially when you factor in rarity.
I guess what I was trying to say is that if there is not a matching deck on the other side (Zombie), that in itself is an indicator of a possible OP deck.
