Zombies are not Balanced
Zombies are not balanced(...again). There is so much to talk about I don't even know where to start. They are way stronger than the plants. I was on something around a 7 to 8 game loss streak as the ...

Banana is probably a key card to be honest, I managed to get two of them but no Chompzilla.
Rank 50+307 stars is impressive, but you can't possibly know what's under any gravestone, at best you can take guesses based on the brains available and that's it.
"you can't possibly know what's under any gravestone, at best you can take guesses based on the brains available and that's it."
Playing against gravestones is similar to playing against counterspells or instants in MTG. In MTG you can usually tell if a control player has a counterspell based on the mana available then cards they have already played and the type of deck they are playing. A pro can often tell what cards are in an opponent's hand based on previous plays and game states.
Guessing what is under a grave stones work very similarly. You have a a number of hints: the location where they placed it, relative to where your plants are, the amount of brains left, the avatar and the cards that were played before, the deck strategy (are they imps? are they pirates?) and other subtler things. I'm still not particularly good at guessing, but I do understand the theory behind it, just haven't really memorized all the cards properly.
I am just going to go ahead and say......
Plants legendaries are mostly TERRIBLE. The only two that I can think of playing are the great zucchini in a super controlly citron, and the three headed chomper. The rest of them are super meh. I have a hard time wanting to include any plant legendary.
On the contrary, Zombies need the super expensive legends because they are more likely to stick around, or else plants will just combo w.e they want and they can remove everything, and the tricks become trivial because of that. It is much easier to build a board as a plant because of that.
I have a lot of success with just rare or below cards in plant decks, where as a zombie i have a really hard time (i basically have to tryhard every time), if I don't have legendaries.
I have found the opposite. Plants have some really good SR and Legendaries that aren't too expensive. Zombies have some good ones but they generally cost 6+ sun whereas plants have a lot of cheaper SR and legendaries that can turn the tide of battle quickly.
I have 4 legendaries that I consider extremely powerful:
Plants:
Bananasaurus: fairly cheap at 4 sun, to get a 3/3 that attacks twice. The fact that it grows every turn and even more if you play something that draws makes it extremely powerful and difficult to stop if you play it right.
Doubled Mint: also very cheap at 2 sun. The trick is to play it early when if the zombies "tap out" (use all their brains) and then the next turn buff it. Once it gets past a certain threshold, only direct kills will remove it.
The fact that both of these plants are cheap to play make them immensely powerful if played in the right deck, at the right time.
Zombies:
Trickster: This guy is usually played for 4-6 brains because you will put him in a deck with lots of tricks. You basically get a 6/6 and either 6 damage to the face or destroy one of their plants, quite powerful for it's cost.
Barrel of Dreadbeards: This guy is hard to play effectively sometimes, but can be quite brutal if played turn two and decimates out their board. Also a great combo with Fireworks Zombie and Newspaper Zombie.
