Weed Spray is unbalanced
Hi everyone,
First off, as I am new here, let me start by saying that I really enjoy the game and hope to see it grow !
I already started discussing this with other players on forums and many ...

You all have to learn not to play cards because you can... You also need to learn that some decks are counters to others. You're not going to win every game.
Can it wipe a board? Sure, if you play cards just to fill the board before turn 3. You sometimes have to bait the card. If on turn 3 you have two under 2 damage minions on the board and they pass their minion phase... DON'T PLAY ANOTHER SUB 2 MINION! Either a) they'll get rid of just a couple leaving you with plenty of cards to recover, or b) they'll hold off on using it, wasting a turn.
Another thing to remember, you don't balance competitive games to the weakest decks, you balance then to the strongest.
I'm an exclusively plant player... Just under 50... Still climbing. While i may seem smug, it gets tiring telling people to change their decks and strategies to match the game, not change the game to match their strategies.
Weed spray is certainly not op. If you're going to play all sub 2 damage cards and fill your lanes, knowing the card is out there, is it weed sprays fault or yours if it wipes you out?

I appreciate your stance. And I have learned to hold back, or play a high strength if i have one, when they leave 3 brains on the 3rd or 4th turn. So then they waste their turn. But if I don't have a high strength I waste my turn. People say "don't fill your lanes with plants before turn 3". There aren't lots of early game and high strength cards for Wall Knight. So the OP part is the low brain cost effect of making a player be conservative and give up early game or be wiped out. It also causes an entire brand of strategies (early rush) to be nullified for plants while zombies still can with no fear of a "zombie spray". I am talking balance, not whining because I can't adjust my strategy.
- @simmer74 to an extent... But toy really habe to understand that there are deck counters. Defensive end/gargologist decks can shut down removal decks. Bonus track can shut down bonus attack decks...
Your deck isn't meant to win every game. There are weaknesses that certain other decks can exploit.
If you're truly honest with yourself, you can admit that our rush decks are stronger... Their late game is generally stronger door the cost... Which is why we have doomshroom... Something they don't habe a 5 cost equivalent of... And doomshroom is way stronger than weedspray.
You said yourself how strong the deck can be... His it's meant to be overpowering early game and beat them to the punch... So certain decks don't have much of a chance against you... You don't have much of a chance against others the way your deck is built. That is card game balance. Balance isn't every deck balanced to each other. It's overall.I have to agree with daalnni on this one. There are various cards in the game that are difficult to deal with. See a Repeat moss, Sargeant strawberry, Blooming heart, Snowdrop on the field? You had better get rid of them or the game could be over in a hurry. My point is you can make a case of OP for quite a few cards. After playing for a while I believe the key is to learn which cards characters have at their disposal and try to guess what they are going to play next. As a primarily plant player, I know there are four zombies that can play weed spray. You see weed spray typically earlier in the game. The key for me is when you see one of those zombie heros saving three brains for tricks, expect it and play around it. If they are saving three brains for tricks more likely than not they won't have a full board themselves so don't load it up for them to destroy. Secondly, build decks that they will struggle eliminating. Think they may be about to drop weed spray? Play poison ivy, poison mushroom, bonk choy, berry angry, fire peashooter, sportacus, cattail, blooming heart in round one or two, mixed nuts and vanilla. All of these cards are great ways to combat weed spray. Berry angry is an amazing card early to turn a board full of shroom for twos into something that is going to do some serious damage if all they have to play is weed spray.
- ApprovedI absolutely agree. Those are all great suggestions. One of my big points is you can't get very far if you want to mostly play Wall Knight. I have tried doing a stretch to see if he can climb the ladder. He is the hardest to get going due to his low strength options. All of them for turns 1 to 3 (3 sun) are vulnerable to weed spray except for mixed nuts behind a wall nut, hibernating beary if he is injured, and bear paw if he is injured. He is the MOST vulnerable to this card. The other guardian mixes have ways to deal, but not him. He is shut down when those 4 zombie players are opponents. My concern is it makes playing Wall Knight an exercise in frustration. Sure, I can and will play others, but I find it more frustrating than fun to play him. Thanks for all of your suggestions.
