What can be done against this thing on turn 4?

Personally, I did not know what to do. (On turn 6, I played Winter Melon to stop Jurassic Fossilhead, but Zombie player played more Going Viral + Escape Through Time). The end was this: ...

Today I saw the ''nightmare'' FossilHead. My enemy played Middle Manager, and, in the turn 2 put FossilHead. So it was a zombie 5/6 in the second turn. It's kind of intimidating, but as Grass Knuckles is not afraid of anything, I was not afraid either. My enemy got quite excited with his zombie, and put Vitamin Z 😞  . 

however, I won, maybe because I'm used to play with Knuckles, and he does not have many tricks, you almost always have to beat the zombies in battle 1vs1. 

I was hitting with Bonk Choy. while he was interested in getting Captain Cucumber out of the field.

Bonk Choy + bonus attacks (Knuckles superpower), -6, another Bonk on the next turn... 

I guess it's not so roguh how you think, eh? hahaha I'm kidding, I guess I was lucky, well, he was also lucky... besides that he underestimated Bonk Choy. 🤔

Now, after playing against these deck very often, I got the strong feeling that nerfing the candies again could already do the job to balance in the deck.

    I think that healthy treat helped out the Zombology teacher and going viral quite a bit. I have been playing plants a little more often lately, because for the most part the wait times are quite a bit shorter, and I have noticed that hearty trait is way more popular nowadays, and I don't like using this comparison, but it is pretty much the same as when clique peas were unveiled to everyone, and the vast majority of the games I played were vs megagrow.

    I have to say though, I played against a couple decks yesterday, and both were Zmech, and neither of them used fossilhead or going viral during our games, and both had really good decks. The one I wanted to mention was using a variation of the strategy deck "stop hitting yourself" and I wanted to message them after to tell them how much I was impressed by his/her deck.

    Those are my favourite decks, to play with and against, and I think it's mainly because of the bit of original thought going into the decks and many of them are really good without having to take the easy way to victory, and just go with the meta of the moment.

    One thing that everyone who has struggled with playing vs these decks needs to realize, and remember when you get frustrated...is that the more you play against those decks, the better you get defending. Every deck has a bit of a weakness, and the more you see them, the more likely that you may expose that weakness, and eventually when you see those cards come out, they are basically an annoyance more than anything.
    Of course there are still going to be times when you get throttled, but it happens to all of us.
    Yesterday while playing with one of what I consider to be my top plant decks, I was annihilated by yet another Zmech. This time, it was while I had nothing to play till round three, and he just waited and then plopped down back to back stompadons and then played a cone zone environment on my planet of the grapes, followed by a fossilhead, although it didn't last long as I have a set of jellybeans in the deck, but I couldn't get anything going. And while I made them work for it, in my opinion, I had lost turn four when I was unable to remove either stompadon and then a flock of annoying hearty zombies lol

      Thing is that a nerf shouldnt make a signature card unplayable. they certainly did this with cliquepeas and it was more or less apropriate I think. But in the case of fossilhead I think it might be more apropriate to fix the shell around it instead of the card itself. Fossilhead would remain a great card but the rest of the dedicated deck wouldn´t be as good as its now

        @wonoz I think people just need to stop crying because they haven't figured out how/don't have the cards/suck too bad to actually beat things.

        With what zombies have now, did clique peas really need to be gutted? I sure don't think so. But hey, you don't hear those hypocrites crying that an untrickable 5/6 on turn two, and three with going viral by turn five is too strong. Why because it's mindless to play and that's right where their skill sits.

        I don't want anything nerfed, I just want people start figuring out how to beat these decks, instead of whining when they can't just push an "I win" button anymore.

        I'm sure as more of us plant players figure out how to counter these cards, they'll cry more, and never even consider that plants have team up... Zombies have overshoot, deadly, gravestone, frenzy, the best strikethrough, the best card draw, the best untrickable, the ability to completely change play order... But yeah, clique peas needed a Nerf and they needed no brainier cards because it's easier than actually putting thought into how you play.

        I relish that I made it to ultimate this season playing plants because most of you still suck with the crazy advantage you have this season.

        Learn to play, stop crying op every time someone beats you, and just enjoy the cards you have and stop worrying about what I have.

        Stop nerfing everything!!!
