As a player who like to explore both sides, I think most of the adjustments are fine.However, the nerf to Sow bean and LIly is too much, TOO MUCH.Without the ability to draw a card, the dynamic of Sow bean in a Bean deck is sabotaged and plant players may have to swap it for better 2-cost cards. If they want to nerf them, why don't make it "shuffle 1 bean talk + draw a card".For Lily, they are actually fragile right now with 3 health and 1 attk. Making it 2 is unnecessary and will hurt the megagrow classes to a great extent. I really hope the developers will consider this change as I like to play megagrow (they're fun experience).

Aaahhh, you beat me into making the post.However, you forgot about the Leprechaun Imp that now will suffle just 1 pot of gold instead of 2. RIP.I will miss you my good friend...EDIT: And you forgot about Medulla Nebulla, now granting just 2 extra brains instead of 3 when a zombie is played there.EDIT EDIT: And Fossilhead. Now gets +2/+2 when evolved instead of +3/+3.

Hahaha, its like "players says magic beans are to weak" ... " players says magic beans are to strong " , " players now want card draw again" xD

Sadly this confirm that Zombot Aerostatic Gondola was a typing error. The writer was inspired that day, and excited us with that description.

Well lets put my two cents to this. I am main zombie player btw.LIKE: Plants:Twin Sunflower (Buff) = Cool finally it's not instant dead if played too riskyMirror Nut (Buff) = coolZombies:Shieldcrusher Viking (Buff) I love this guy don't know if that's gonna help him that much (7/5)Abracadaver (Buff) = Finally, playableYeti Lunchbox (Buff) = Pets new metaLeftovers (Buff) = Pets new metaGaragantua Mime (Buff) = 5/7 Ok, but what about his ability? Will it be triggered if plants doing bonus attacks? Gargantua Throwing Imp (Buff) = Random Garg that cost 5 really cool!Escape Through Time (Nerf) = deservedQuickdraw Conman (Nerf) = deservedStompadon (Nerf) = deservedJurassic Fossilhead (Nerf) = deservedHUGE Dislike:PlantsSunflower Seed (Nerf) = Really? It was dying in 90% of the case anyway after playedSnow Magic Beans (Nerf) = No card draw? That's really really bad.Lily of the Valley (Nerf) = Sorry guys a 1/2??? The 1/3 is vital for that card to not getting killed instantly by cannon fodder zombies or low-cost tricks.This card becomes unplayable if the nerf will be in place.ZombiesMedulla Nebula (Nerf) = Can be completely recycled now. 3 Cost and 2 Back. Nope!Leprechaun Imp (Nerf) = You could have either increased the costs to two. Or give me my sparks back (8000). The RestI don't care!Food for thoughts: Nerf Zom Blob? Nerf going Viral?Maybe a good plant event? I think the Zombies will still kick as after this update as there are not many buffs for plants. The nerf of the Lilly is the worst thing here imo. It will be an issue for lots of plant decks. The nerfs and buffs on the zombie side will lead to very strong pet decks and the going viral and zomb blob combos will still be frequently played. I hope the devs tested there buffs and nerfs sufficiently.

So bad, thats why i said nerfing is bad. Its funny, plants players have problems and they want nerf Magic beans, lily flower, lol, and Quickdraw man still its a problem xD. Well, i maintain my position, i prefer new cards, not thats changes ... But well the majority players wants nerfing, so lets go...

The funny thing is that Sow Magic Beans got back to their original effect, just shuffling the beans.

Just perhaps, besides plant players saying about nerfing..it's also seen in gameplay, or results that zombies being that much more powerful had an easy journey through to UL. Or that plant players stop playing, as no point in continually losing.. Game is suppose to be fun. Not domination of either side. Otherwise people stop playing, even zombies who have completed the rank, reaching UL then stop? I know some still play for stars that in effect are worthless, apart from status bragging.

Twin sunflower is getting its second point of health back. Never understood why they did that in the first place.
A few of those I don't get why, and a few of them really disappointed to see, while others were expected.
I wonder if both set 3&4 were released as one, if the same nerfs would be needed oe done. They tested both sets at once to my understanding, and to me that means that it should not be as bad as people think because the next set has a bunch of cards that may not negate the power cards in colossal, but probably make it so it isn't such a drastic change.
You would really think that testing would have shown the same thing as we all see, although they probably have access to all cards....which makes a big difference

And boo to my neutron imp getting smaller. Sure he can start hitting faster, but now needs a buff ingame. This to me means that I probably was right about the excavation zombie. Everyone said I was wrong thinking that you can bounce plant or zombie environments, but this sounds like a good reason why he's half the size

Yeti lunchbox being a pet trick now is awesome
Escape through time as 2 cost makes sense
Lillies losing a health sucks
Seems like someone really likes shieldcrusher viking. I'm not complaining about the buff, but there are plenty of other legendary that could use some love
A shame that they aren't fixing the ZAG, especially when this the third buff the viking gets(but at least I have mine still)
Stompadon should get a 2 brain bump, and I am a zombie hero way more than plant, so save it
As @Azombioso I too mourn the leprechaun. I'm going to still use him, but it hurts a bit(I have no doubt that plenty of plant heroes are jumping for joy)
Medulla Nebula don't really care about the change as I don't use it nearly as much as other enviros
Sow the Seeds goes back to what it was, but why? It is not like plants have that many card drawing cards in comparison anyways, so why take one away, especially after buffing it to bump it to a superrare....
Yeah, thats what I think
