These Decks are Fun!
So apparently plants don’t like Valkyrie. You know what Zombies do when we see Nightcap drop a Planet of the Grapes turn 2? We groan. A Briar Rose hiding behind a Sunflower on a Solar Winds? We gro...

I'd have more fun if the dam, packs dropped me some of the cards I need rather than having to recycle, recycle, recycle. This year has been better since they are running the same event cards, as the recycle on those gives me a bit extra. Once I can get the legendaries I'm after then I'll be a happier bunny, and less stressy with the games, as it will be a bit easier.
That was about as on-topic as a Jack-o-Lanturn singing Christmas Carols in July.
- Root Update!
Garlic is here! Zombie players no longer need to brush their teeth. We all smell pretty much the same.
I wanted to do a little update showing how I’ve modified my root deck with the addition of Garlic. I’m including subtractions, additions, and rationale... or you could just skip to the picture.
Removed: 2x Grave Buster
Added: 2x Imitater
How come: This was always my plan. My zombie decks right now are pretty much how I like them, so I finally spent some dust and got the full set of Taters to go with my Starch-Lords.
Grave Busters got the axe first b/c they are conditional cards. They can be quite excellent, but I don’t like conditional cards as a general rule. I myself run more than a couple zombie decks that have no gravestones. On purpose.
Removed: 4x Veloci-Radish Hatchling
Added: 4x Garlic
How Come: Garlic doesn’t quite have the same dimension on offense, but this deck was not built to be fast. Garlic is a better control card. It’s got beef. It’s got... a little bit of bite. It’s actually one of the better options for protecting Starch-Lord. Most importantly, it fills a one-drop Root slot AND it has team up.
Removed: 3x Plantern
Added: 1x Veloci-Radish Hunter, 2x Primal Wall-Nut
How Come: Plantern is a good card... but it’s not a great copy target. With 4x Imitater, I felt the deck needed more/better targets in case Starch-Lord is not available. The Veloci-Radish Hunter I opened... the Wall-Nut I had to craft.
Of the two, I am absolutely loving Wall-Nut so far. Though it doesn’t quite fit the “roots” theme, it turns out 9 toughness/untrickable defends a Starch-Lord pretty well. It also has the advantage over Plantern of Team-Up (this deck loves Team-Up), and has the potential of giving Tater yet another copy target off the random Conjure.
Here’s the updated deck.Another great deck! Thanks again for taking the time to share.
