my favourite deck ! RANDOMNESS !

@jaydabbler you claimed that you can always destroy 3hc in the first turn lol, this can only happen if you are a BRAINY hero with with 3 brains left in the tricks phase and you have rocket science and i never play 3hc in that situation, the worst case scenario is that you are a brainy hero that has the super power " cut down to size " and you have it still with 1 brain left .. that's the only time 3hc can get fooled, and that's a low percentage of happening , just like the possibility of taking away any other plant/zombie in the game, and after the first or the second turn for the 3hc chopper and taking away lots of zombies it will be transformed by a molekale to something bigger

and you sure can take it away buy a number of 3 or some expensive tricks , and that's a good thing too he just freaks them out and they lose their tricks just to kill him

you are really exaggerating about " i ALWAYS destroy it in the first or second round " that's really exaggeration

what hero do you play ? 

short version - i play nearly all the heroes, both plants and zombies.

and I really shouldn't need to waste my time explaining this to you, but I will waste just a little time to give you a better idea. Honestly, I'm having issues thinking of a hero that CAN'T remove it right away or next turn. 

this week I'm playing Professor BS, last few weeks I played mostly Impfinity, HG, Neptuna

Let's assume you played it in an empty lane, just to give you benefit of the doubt.

Professor BS

- Rocket Science

- Final Mission + a second trick 

- Tanky and draw 3 cards (because at this point in the game your other lanes are usually empty anyways)

- Exploding Fruitcake

- Trickster start of next turn

- only 1 brain left over but waiting to play to the empty lane that has nebulla in it... go from there.

Impfinity

- or smoke bomb a zombie into the lane and then Barrel of Barrels or deadly superpower. or Triple Threat and then deadly.)

- Tanky + Deadly (with some luck or empty lanes. and really, turn 5 or 6 against impfinity you likely have at most one other plant in play)

- Final Missiion ETC

- Exploding Fruitcake

HG

-any of the above that apply, lots do.

-teleport a toxic waste zombie

-smelly zombie the next turn

- etc

Neptuna

next turn you are often dropping a mega buffed zombie in front of it via stompy anyways, but assuming that's not the case...

-barrel of barrels and smoke bomb

-smelly

but finally - and most importantly - by turn 6 most games have been decided. maybe not over, but decided. Which means that 3HC is either a "win more" condition or is likely to fail as it costs your entire turn. It's very unlikely to turn things around, other than against a sport deck as it can seriously effect their ramp if not destroyed immediately. But i don't ever play sport decks so...

one more thing - usually when 3HC is played against me it is not in an empty lane. Which just makes removing it that much easier.

@jaydabbler to be more clear, i'm talking about the 3hc role in THAT deck, your opinion about the card as a card generally might be so different from me but that's not the point, i'm saying that 3hc is a must have 3 cards in THAT exact deck, because , by the 6th round you won't have many plants or you might have no plants at all , you are just executing zombies and healing yourself , you might not draw much healing cards nor executing cards, and in both situations you will need to clean up the ground to start getting your guns out

and the ways you mentioned to execute 3hc, most of them are just ways prove i'm wrong man haha

i told you rocket science is so predictable and 3hc isn't played in that round

i can go like that about every way you mentioned BUT

that deck is so random and about the reaction , and that's why it's so fun and needs a skilled player !! you just choose what you will do depending on the hero you are facing!! a crazy class with 4 brains in hand for tricks?? you absolutely would be stupid to play a 3hc !! a hearty class building up a going viral deck ?! 3hc will save you !! the deck isn't about 3hc or revolve around it , as i wrote in the main post " it has a thing for everything "

i'd really like to play against you !! you sound so skilled , what's your username ?! let's prove each other wrong 💪🏻😂

@jaydabbler people who does this " not playing 3hc in an empty lane " just don't know how to use it and how good the card can be, see ! they gave you a bad reputation about that card haha , you must play it in an empty lane for the max advantage, and if there was no empty lanes, cherry bomb has the easiest job to do now

i make it a point to not add anyone. I hate being messaged in that game, i just play ranked when I want a challenge or to give a deck a final test. or to keep players from making it to UL on the last day 😉

@jaydabbler someone is afraid of the 3HC here 😛 haha

i'm ul at the 80th star now but i think this season was the toughest for plants, quick draw con man and zom-blob and stomptadon were really ruining lots of games

@patdk75 if i've played 100 pvz games, then i've played 90 of them as solar flare, i'm too crazy about it experienced and expert at it, and i can tell you i have used and tried every card in the solar and kaboom classes and these are the best cards i found best when you are speaking about the EFFECT not the plant itself... i was so crazy about the astrocado when it first came out but i can tell you it's not worth the 5 suns it's so weak on health , when comparing it to elderberry , elderberry is absolutely a bargain !! cheaper , 4 health not 3 , can evolve cheap plant or a sunflower/ a useless button mushroom to a big surprise, and still a strikethrough, maybe the astrocado gives u that 1 health seed to develop to another one but it rarely makes it to the next round..

and the ( take big damage and heal and heal and heal ) is a really provoking way and makes the games last way too long, till you are really ready and can destroy everything
ketchup mechanic is AWESOME when you are playing against early aggressive opponents with weak zombies like impfinity, i was thinking about adding another one instead of fireweed .. i think solar event cards are just the worst and useless and zombies have w game changer event cards.. it's not fair

Good debate

I remember perfectly that the first legendary I got was 3HC, I didn't even know the importance of a legendary, but I put it in my deck, in the end I ended up taking it out, It always made me lose, well, it didnt make me lose, I lost because I didnt know how to play it, I learned to play with that card much later, I remember spending my 6 suns, and that is the superpower of Rustbolt and Superbrainz, that destroy a plant with 5 or more, so annoying.

Another one: Sumo Wrestler, in the gravestone, when i played de 3HC, It moved her to the worst place... 

But 3HC is a big headache when you don't find how to destroy it. The thing is, use it when there are two big guys in between, and the enemy has foolishly used all their brains. 

@BlazinsZ the deck generally is about reaction, you MUST be an experienced player to play it, you must know most of the cards and specially the tricks of every class, you never play a more then 5 attack plant when a brainy class has lots of brains left in tricks, you never put a plant you want facing a zombie when you are playing against a sneaky hero, and so on, you have the reaction and the effects, 3hc does more than enough against hearty and beastly and sneaky, if it's a brainy or crazy hero you have to take care or you just play other cards to make opponent run out of cards then you clean up the board late game by 3hc again , it's always more than useful if you reached the 5th round with no much damage ( heal yourself )

@patdk75 i don't even have chompzilla himself 😂😂😂

@z_elmo21 I really recommend you Chompzilla, my favorite class is megagrow, and also solar class is very good too,

@patdk75 talking about chompzilla and 3HC, I have had great moments of fun with that.

Megagrow class --> 4 Captain Cucumber 

Solar class --> Sunflowers

You need to try that, really worth it, while Captain Cucumber give you legendaries  (they cost 1 sun less) , Sunflowers end of the turn give you extra suns, so you can play Onion Rings, 3HC, Dark Matter, and all legendaries in early turns. 

I played one  3HC in the turn 4, because one sunflower environment already create 2 sunflowers, and Captain give me one 3HC (with 1 sun less of cost), and still had 1 sun. While the enemy was interested in getting rid of 3HC, Captain Cucumber give me more Legendaries with a lot of suns with sunflowers. It's too cool 🥳

@BlazinsZ always imagined combos like that but unfortunately i don't have chompzilla
