I am almost solely a zombie player and I must admit that I haven't seen it being played much. It might be because it's super-rare, but in all honestly, I think the reason Tactical Cukes don't show up much is because solar already has plenty of removal. Squash, Wack-a-Zombie, Lawnmower, Toadstool, Chomper etc, all of which don't pose a threat to your plants. At 6 sun it's pretty clunky, so maybe the problem isn't its power-level, but simply the class it is in.
There's only so much removal you can put in a deck, and I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere.
