Clique peas are so OP?
Almost everyone is playing now with clique peas because they are very powerful and if you combine them with other beans that let you draw cards you are invencible. xD

- @UniVoidz you are absolutely right about using their redudancy to your favor. I did the same vs mushroom grotto and pineclone last season and worked really well.
What are your tips? Fast burst dmg (as what pet decks seem to do)? Chumping is usually quite good as an option. Clique peas have no doublestrike, strikethrough or any other type of evasion to directly dmg you and clique pea decks are not exactly removal heavy most of the time. leperchauns and other card-drawing zombies will trade well with them until you can do your thing. Clique pea decks have a somewhat hard time to keep up their card draw when they are constantly trying to cycle into more clique peas. Sports decks are quite good against them as well....coaches and Team mascots are hard for them to trade with.
Also... Just an educated guess but I suppose people complaining about clique peas are the ones that like to play regift and wormhole gatekeeper and then are mad that letting your opponent draw cards can have a downside. to bad.
- Yeah wormhole gatekeeper is a nice card...until buddy drops a bananasaurus or three
I don't like the clique peas but by the same token I'm not too sure they like facing imp decks either. Not just with the leprechauns like buddy already mentioned, but toxic waste making everything deadly or cosmic imps...are all cheap to play also imposters I love cuz you get at least two from the one card and again with toxic imp can clear most boards - I think we all know there are powerful cards on all sides, that's not the point. What I've been trying to say is that Clique Pea lacks a reasonable counter for it's ability compared to any other card of equal value.
For those who play as a Plant Hero, consider how you counter arm wrestle zombie (gets 1/1 whenever a plant is played in his lane). You destroy him indirectly, or use a few lower power plants early, or wait til you have a higher power plant for 1 vs 1. He can be a pain to deal with early game.
Now, imagine every other Arm Wrestler played after him had an increased str/health, making him harder and harder to deal with.
Theres not a comparable, versatile zombie or trick to counter Clique Peas and their effect..at least from my last check. The game added more cards, so maybe there is now.
Main point: While there are strong zombie cards, there are counters to them or they have a high cost/requirements to play. Clique peas do not. Just a 1/1 card which duplicates and gets stronger and stronger. The nearest Zombie equivalent I can see would be, maybe, Intergalactic Warlord? He has the downsides of cost and not making more copies of himself, but then again, he affects every single Zombie in your deck; not just other copies of himself.
- No because he is limited for one thing and costs 5 for another...
I agree with you that clique peas are op and i can say that very few people who play green don't have the clique peas in their decks.
Thing is though if they nerf it to my suggestion that it becomes a casting cost of 2, that would still be a greasy card but it would be slower by enough that the guys who are using only because the can take advantage of a broken card(at least as things stand) would probably not use them as much - So with all the cheap deadly decks you canbuild, you still can't find a way to beat them, huh? Or do you just not want to play that deck? You want your deck to be able to beat every deck...
- It's not that we can not beat them, it's that they are much harder to beat than anything else of related value/cost. I'd highly suggest referring back to my comparison between Clique Peas and Arm Wrestler zombie.
- @patdk75 I like the idea of there still being clique peas while retaining a similar affect. I think they were meant to be an early game boost for pea decks, so maybe keep their cost the same but change something else? Like maybe the first one is a 1/1, second is a 2/2 etc. The huge jump of, at least, two 3/3s by turn two is what troubles me, plus theyre are so incredibly versatile.
What do you think? Still want plant players to use them, but not quite so overpowered.
