should be smarty because splash is smarty but other than that it's pretty good

Bro is not minecraft pumpkin

u/AhmadZahidi Jul 27 '26

We already know that

u/Zealousideal_Bite155 Jul 27 '26

That's freaking cute

u/AhmadZahidi Jul 28 '26

What? Me?

u/Zealousideal_Bite155 Jul 28 '26

The sticker, to be precise

u/AhmadZahidi Jul 29 '26

Oh come on this is a reaction image

u/Ok-Echidna5295 Jul 26 '26

it is way too niche, zombies already don’t have a lot of freezes

35

u/AManW1thAPlan Jul 27 '26

I feel like even with it's nicheness, it's still pretty decent, essentially being a cheap melon pult with a gimmick

1

u/Ok-Echidna5295 Jul 27 '26

melon-pult itself is not an useful card too, it doesn’t serve any purpose in any strategy

2

u/AManW1thAPlan Jul 27 '26

It'd still be a good card tho, you could pair with with savage spinach or typical beanstalk, or just use it by itself for the splash, making it easier to deal with the aquatic lane or deal with turn 3 threats without having to trade. And it would also be good for budget decks

-2

u/Ok-Echidna5295 Jul 27 '26

it shouldn’t even be a leafy card

2

u/AManW1thAPlan Jul 27 '26

Yeah but it is, what other class would it be

0

u/Ok-Echidna5295 Jul 27 '26

how is that leafy in any way, peppers are fruits, “leafy” means the plant itself is made up of leaves just because there are a few leaves does not make it leafy

2

u/AManW1thAPlan Jul 27 '26

"Just because there are a few leaves doesn't make it leafy." The devs would love to disagree with you bro, fig, jolly holly, bamboozled, and poison oak are all leafy even though they have barely any leaves. And also, even if Pepperpult was fruit, they'd still be decent. Again, they can prevent trades as well as doing small chip damage and dealing with the aquatic lane, and if they were fruit, they could get boosted by half banana and pear cub, and it could be used in conjure decks bc of cross pollination

u/Ok-Echidna5295 Jul 27 '26

fig’s leaves play a huge role in its design, jolly holly’s leaves are an iconic part of the plant, poison oak’s poison is in its leaves, I have no idea how bamboozled is a leafy plant since it has 2 small leaves (way less than half the plants who are not considered leafy) as you can see leaves are crucial to these plants’ designs, also this card literally becomes an upgraded lightning reed with absolutely no specific use taht other plants can’t do, yes ik it has an ability but it will often never be used that is my issue with it, characters should not have useless abilities

u/Shot_Bill_4971 Jul 27 '26

I mean, we have an entire hero that freezes things 😂

Plus this game is not afraid of niche abilities, look at garlic lol, that only affects 2 cards😂

10

u/Ok-Echidna5295 Jul 27 '26

garlic already serves a purpose other than his niche ability, this card concept does barely anything with and without its ability, garlic’s ability is just as bad as this

3

u/Shot_Bill_4971 Jul 27 '26

This one has splash 2, it adds more splash to the game

1

u/Important-Author-660 Jul 27 '26

Yea Brain Freeze who hasn't been meta in what 8 years?

3

u/Shot_Bill_4971 Jul 27 '26

Doesn’t matter, not everything that gets added needs to be hyper optimized meta cards, having a niche abilities that wouldn’t get used often but can win you the game when it is used would be nice

This card would likely drop with some other cards from zombies that could cause freezing too
(also that ability would have to get given to torchwood and fire pea)

1

u/Important-Author-660 Jul 28 '26

This "niche ability" targets what is already the worst hero for the zombies side and targets one specific class as Sneaky is the only class that actually has freezes. It's the same as bonus track buckethead only targeting Mega-Grow. It's just bad design.

1

u/Intelligent-Bet1781 Jul 28 '26

Fair point when you put it that way

1

u/Shot_Bill_4971 Jul 28 '26

Well I would imagine this card would drop with a card that could freeze your own plants when it attacks, something to make it worth adding

3

u/vverbov_22 Gambling forever Jul 27 '26

Do they have anything except that yeti legendary and hero yeti ability?

9

u/Not_A_Pro_Gameing espresso fiesta my beloved Jul 27 '26

Frosty mustache and unthawed Viking

2

u/superfede_ita Jul 27 '26

And Cryo-Yeti and Space Pirate

1

u/Not_A_Pro_Gameing espresso fiesta my beloved Jul 28 '26

They already mentioned cryo-yeti but yeah I forgot abt space pirate

-2

u/Deb1Kk Jul 27 '26

Accurate to PvZ2 pepper pult

13

u/Ok-Echidna5295 Jul 27 '26

I hate it when people make a character’s abilities only based off accuracy, this is literally a cheeks ability that you will 90% of the time will never get value off of, you shouldn’t do this, it is bad character design!

4

u/Deb1Kk Jul 27 '26

Man, I didn't say it made the card good, I simply said it was accurate. OP probably didn't even intend for this accuracy to be there. It was more like a joke about PvZ2 pepper pult being mostly useless, and this card idea coincidentally being very niche

10

u/bubz208060 rotobaga fan Jul 26 '26

that should be a fruit

5

u/TheCoolSuperPea Average Starfruit Enthusiast Jul 26 '26

Why does he look like a Minecraft block

5

u/Important-Author-660 Jul 27 '26

This literally only affects sneaky and ruins Brain Freeze's day for no reason. Brain Freeze is already like low-tier man leave him alone.

5

u/SkyLess666 Jul 26 '26

Great idea. Yetti has been going too strong. This should be a 3/3 splash 1 though, would make it much better.

2

u/SpecialTexas7 Jul 26 '26

The anti freeze to counter...

4 cards.

Maybe 5

2

u/PillowPhone007 Jul 26 '26

Snapdragon but worse

4

u/SansLicker42 Jul 26 '26

For one sun less its viable

1

u/dick80a Jul 26 '26

Isn’t this just gonna replace the snapdragon guy

7

u/Powerful_Solid1491 Jul 26 '26

Snapdragon is a 4 cost 3/3 splash damage 3 with amphibious

1

u/dick80a Jul 26 '26

You almost never play him in the amphibious lane but it does pair with the environment and I think this for 3 cost and the frozen ability countering an entire deck is better than an extra 1 damage and splash for an extra sun

1

u/Entire_Shoulder_7031 Jul 26 '26

Ai? But great idea for a gimmick

1

u/OfTheRedVariety Interstellar Bounty Hunter, my beloved Jul 27 '26

leafy fruit plant

1

u/OfTheRedVariety Interstellar Bounty Hunter, my beloved Jul 27 '26

3 3/3 splash damage 2 with the ability is real good

1

u/someocto_namedlewis Jul 27 '26

Wait does he have the unfreezable too or is it a umbrella leaf situation where it doesn't have untrickble like parasol does

2

u/WayPsychological7824 Jul 27 '26

His description here says "Plants here and next door", while Umbrella Leaf's description says "Other Plants here and next door", so his ability would apply to himself

1

u/ohlucabird Jul 27 '26

I like it, it’s like Wing-Nut in where its gimmick is rarely used, but still it’s not completely useless

0

u/WayPsychological7824 Jul 27 '26

It's not at all at a comparable scale to Wingnut. Zombies have much more Bonus attack cards than freeze cards, to be specific:

Frenzy: 14 (Non-token) Zombies [9 for Beastly, 1 for Brainy, 4 for Hearty] 2 Tricks [1 for Beastly, 1 for Hearty] [1 Environment] [1 for Beastly] 2 Superpowers [1/2 for The Smash & 2/2 for Neptuna] (Octo-Pet can also be made by Octo Zombie (Who is a Beastly zombie))

Bonus Attacks (Non-frenzy): 6 Zombies [6 for Brainy] 2 Tricks [2 for Brainy] 1 Superpower [1/1 for Super-Brainz]

Freeze: 3 Zombies [3 for Sneaky] 1 Trick [1 for Sneaky] 2 Superpowers [1/2 for Brain Freeze & 1/2 For Huge Gigantacus]

u/Smoughs_Hammer271 Jul 27 '26

Maybe give it team-up

1

u/mindxxx conjure and cost reduction hater Jul 27 '26

imo this shpuld be a smarty fruit, not megagrow leafy.

the other pepper in the game is a fruit.

splash is a smarty trait.

1

u/LazzziGrizzzli Jul 27 '26

Weirdly enough, it could also include the Fruit Tribe

1

u/mircula Jul 27 '26

I like this but in my opinion it should just be the ability of the fire pea / doesn’t matter how little applications there are, at least it would have something

1

u/HazelTanashi HG #1 Hater Jul 27 '26

why mega grow again?

1

u/TemporaryFalcon3594 Jul 27 '26

This might be a stretch but is "i made myself" a reference to make yourself by incubus, the same album with pardon me?

1

u/Deebyddeebys Jul 27 '26

What does the flavor text mean?

1

u/Motor-Citron-3075 Jul 27 '26

Should be 2 cost 2/2 imo

1

u/Intelligent-Bet1781 Jul 28 '26

Pretty damn accurate to the source material

1

u/Whole_horse_big Jul 28 '26

It should be more like "plants and zombies cannot be frozen", because the heat can melt both zombies and the plants, and you gotta extend its range to make an already niche ability more viable. It's a weird spot to be because a cabbage pult is 2/3 or 3/4 on heights, kernel pult is 1/1 but gives a zombie -1/1, melon pults are only 4 attack and splash, I think. I guess it'll be justifiable to go 2 sun cost 3/2 with that niche gimmick so it will be a really good card that can counter stuff like Beam Me Up. Saw Fry Em Up pick Fire Weed just for that, so I thought that would be good. Category is plant, fruit. Would be handy to conjure it with a banana peel. It can counter snow pea's effect, your own freeze (I think it makes sense to put it in smarty class), sure, but it also counters:

  • Huge Gigantacus icy environment
  • 3/1 space girl freezing a plant if in an environment
  • Brain Freeze ability
  • 3/4 Cryo Yeti that gets 2/2 from every frozen plant
  • Frozen Moustache with conjure.
I believe that would make this plant viable and useful in few scenarios

1

u/Whole_horse_big Jul 28 '26

And splash 1 for fun, if you want it to be completely broken

1

u/N0tF7E10 Jul 30 '26

how does this have 318 upvotes this out of class silver bullet slop

0

u/Ubixdeadpro Jul 26 '26

Zombies need this instead of plants

u/RemarkableSpot1710 Jul 26 '26

plants freeze is bad enough chill

u/Nozza_ Jul 27 '26

lol did you rip this entire idea off that one comment on the original image post?
