Both double mint and bananasauras rex are v good cards. Today my opponent played double mint on turn 2 and a i destroyed it easily. NEVER play double mint on turn 2( just like paparazi zombie & zookeper should not b played on turn 1 & 2), also be careful with zombie heroes who use rockets as they can easily destroy bananasauraus rex/double mint. yes double mint needs protection when played ( using torchwood or any teaaup plant). once my opponents doublemint got to 62/60.
Playing double mint on 3 is also fine, but if you play it at 4, you won't likely get much profit out from it since games usually end fast.
You play double mint in a way that it forces your opponent to address it. It is like forcing your opponent to spend brains on it instead of on your strong plants.
There is a rather famous term in Magic about this general topic: BUT IT DIES TO DOOMBLADE!
And trust me: you rather want a Game with good removal and proper answers than a game where players just fling legendaries at each other because they have overhelming stats.
That is why I as a fan of efficient control decks have nightmares of wanna-be-hero :/
both are great cards - your opponent MUST defeat either card on the following two turns or they are screwed. they can't ignore it and leave it for long, allowing you to pull off something else entirely.
Doubled Mint Not looking so Bad.
