you do realize plants pay a premium on strikethrough, and zombies don't. (even if you want to argue line dancing zombie, you don't pay any premium for strikethrough, because it is gravestone AND you get to move it after you see what the plant plays). This more than balances it. For 5 brains you can do 5/5 frenzy, while power flower is a 3/5 strikethrough. The 5/5 frenzy basically will deal 2 more dmg with same amount of resource spend, and still have a 5/2 remain on the board. Also, frenzy counters teamup really nicely anyways.
Onto the flower decks, they aren't strong right now, even with the new flower. The new flower was probably added because flower theme was terrible, and it needed a small boost. It used to be a draw briar rose or be useless kind of deck, and even with briar rose you are defending, and no heavy hitters.
how to counter healing? If you find healing a problem, then you need to plan for the long game. I see a lot of deck building mistakes in my games, especially when I don't try to rank, and play gimmicky decks (I am not much of a rank grinder, but more of a fun deck person).
1. players stick in cards they think is good, and have different costs, but they don't synergize their deck. Example, looking at your deck, and thinking about all your wins (ignore losses), at which part of the game do you achieve most success? (is it 1-3 sun/brains, 4-6 suns/brains etc.). The deck should have a clear game plan on when you want to win.
2. how do you react to different situations around you. for example, someone just used his third 2nd best taco, what do you do? No, I don't mean "I guess I can't win". I meant "what is the best route I can take in this situation with the deck I made". Maybe you realize that your current gameplay of rushing him down really isn'g going to work, and you have to have a late game plan. Maybe you want to speed up your rush even more, because your opponent won't have tacos forever etc.
