Bonus Track Buckehead zombie is sort of OP

Firstly,who in the world asked it to have a DANCE trait?It now makes that we must now use the squash instead of using a regular whack a zombie since it now has synergy with the dancing zombies.

Secondly,its armored.WHY?Why do you have to copy EVERYTHING of the normal buckethead?

Thirdly and finally-its cost.It costs the same as the regular buckethead...this zombie deserves a 1 brain nerf or something.

  • Since it's from PvZ 2 Neon Mixtape Tour, it made sense to make it dancing like the Unlife of the Party.

    You can use whack a zombie as soon as it's played.

    It IS basically a buckethead with an extra ability, so an extra brain cost should be fine.

    It's not that OP if you don't rely purely on Repeat Moss and Bananasaurus Rex. RIP Captain Combustible bonus attack strategies.

    That's what i run most of the time. The card doesn't bother me in that aspect. It bothers me because it blocks plant food and the super as well. That's a strong ability... i mean, except if i clear the board, i cant think of any plants that stop zombie supers...

    It's blatant power creep, yes. But it's hardly OP in any regards. 

    It's also counters hard by Chomper and Whack, among others. 

    The dancing trait makes it a bit better in tribe decks but I find it's just a strong card, much like defensive end. Not OP at all.

    I am happy for it's ability as repeat decks can get out of control real fast and it's good that zombies have a counter to it, much like Sportacus counters Dr. tricks decks, etc...

    Well... it should be, but Sportacus is easily killed by a strong breeze. I mean, a 1 cost trick (albeit a super, but zombots wrath kills it the turn its played) can do it and not activate the effect... let's face it, sportacus against doc =/= def end against troller flare.

    Oh for sure! Defensive end is a stronger card in itself. But its a late game play, where as Sportacus in an early game play. They can be dealt with using different tool on curve. And if you dont have that single removal and you play Sportacus and an already threatening plant board, you're forcing the zombie player to make tough decisions with their removals. I love Sportacus so far.

    Yeah, i don't mind it, but it's that use you just explained that i get the most use out of... running interference, not the effect.

    And def end can be pretty early game... let's not forget.

    I do want to be clear (i know you know this about me, already) i don't think def end is OP. I just think sportacus is underwhelming. I'd really like to see it get armor. I think that would sway a lot of the frustration players are feeling about it.

    the card is a subtle nerf to REPEAT GOD! oops I mean repeat OP! OOPS i mean REPEAT OP GOD MOSS!

    AND thank the heavens for it.  Now theres a 5-30% chance of surviving a repeat moss deck if your running some bonus tracks.
