Cards under the Radar.
A lot of people here complain most of the time about combos or big, flashy dudes that do a lot of things. I personally think that most Decks that are currently really good perform well because they ...

Brainana only prevents zombies from playing tricks however they may not have any tricks. Remember Ra Zombie.
Exactly! Ra Zombie has strict limitations as to how much sun he can remove. Precisely what is missing from Brainana!
yes but Brainana is
1) legendary
2) more expensive
Ra does limit your potential in both departments while Brainana limits only tricks. One could argue that the suns Ra removes are actually "worth" more than the ones that Brainana removes. Also comparing Brainana an Ra is pretty trashy considering at the same pricepoint you get defensive end which is much more comparable.
In other words; brainana has the potential to do nothing thus beeing either vanilla or just stuck in hand while RA will rarely miss. This said; Brainana is way more lategame oriented and Ra is supposed to be played on curve or only slightly off curve.
Ra on turn 5 is arguably stronger than Brainana on turn 6 as it throws you back to turn 3 (literaly) while brainana just prevents you from playing Tricks.

Maybe Zombie Decks are just to Trickheavy? I mean otherwise there would be no reason to be butthurt about loosing tricks for one turn :P?
Since the zombie cant play tricks, cards like megnifying grass and poison oak cannot be countered at all. Its similiar to the teleport Valkyrie combo. Brainana is also amphibious to deal extra damage or defend.I hate Brainana, but though I hate to admit it, it's not very OP. However, I don't think mechanics like removing sun/brains from the opponent are very healthy for the game, and so they shouldn't add any more.
You are aware that Valkyre combo (with teleport) and Magnifying glass + Brainana has a whopping cost difference of 6? I mean...for 9 you could also play Wallnut bowling which almost always does more for the board and oftentimes straightup MURDERS the other player.
For 9 you could play Wallnut bowling that does 18 of damage and put in game 3 nuts of six of life. But with 11 you can only put garagatuar's feast that put in game 3 zombisteisn. It is useless, you win or die before turn 11 and more if you are a zombie. Plants decks are so powerful. As I say I always win as a plant on level 50.
I guess personally, my grievance comes from having multiple games in the last couple days where the opponent played Brainanas three turns in a row. Every time, I had a trick or two that could have won the game for me had I had any chance to play it, and only drew tricks or cheap zombies, causing all my Brains to go to waste while the opponent's getting solid stats out and still able to play tricks. No card should make it so that a player flat out can't play the game. Where's the fun in that?
