The Growing Garden Update

The Growing Garden Update is an update in PvZH. It adds no cards, but creates significant changes elsewhere. In addition, rarities were decreased and basic packs were brought back to make the game more friendly for Free-to-play players.
== Added Features ==
=== New Events ===
Two new events were added in this update: Epic Decks and Fan-Made Contest. Epic Decks are a series of five battles. For entering, you will get one Basic Card. After one win, you win one more Basic card and one Uncommon card. Two wins give three Basic, two Uncommon, and one Rare. Four wins give four Basic, three Uncommon, two Rare, and one Super-rare. With five wins, you get five Basic, four Uncommon, three Rare, two Super-rare, and one Legendary or new Hero. The catch is this: All players have access to all cards and all heroes for battling in this event, but must make their own decks. It is more of a test of skill than a test of money spent. Fan-Made Contest is very different: It occurs every two and a half weeks. Players can submit their own ideas for cards, which will be selected by a series of polls. The winner will have their card added and have all four copies of that card given to them. In addition, for every poll won, there is a random card reward.
=== New Gamemodes ===
One added gamemode is Lab Mode. In this game mode, you pick a card to use and build a deck around it. Winning matches with the card gives you Coins and Gems, and multiple wins will give you the card. Another new mode is a variant of Multiplayer, but in addition to grouping people by rank, people are grouped by how much money they have spent on the game. The money brackets are this:
* $0: F2P
* $1-$25: Casual Spending
* $26-$50: A Bit of Obsession
* $51-$75: Seriously Obsessed
* $76-$100: Intervention Needed
* $101+: Popcap and EA Love You
=== New Packs ===
Four new packs were added in this update: Super Set Packs, Mega Multipacks, Missed You Packs, and Mega Update. Super Set Packs cost 125 gems, and include cards from all sets. They have a guaranteed rare or higher, and have six cards in them. The can be purchased in bulk for one extra at 1250 gems. Mega Multipacks are bigger multipacks for all sets and Super Set Packs. Paying 2000 gems (2500 for Super Set Packs) will give you 23 packs, and paying 3000 gems (3750 for Super Set Packs) will give you 37 packs. Missed You Packs are given after one month of inactivity, have four cards, and have a guaranteed Super-Rare or higher. Finally, Mega Update packs are free, and two are given after each new set added.
=== New Glitches ===
This update introduces several glitches. One glitch is the Lab Mode glitch: By completing a hero quest in Multiplayer Lab Mode matches, you will be an extra pack. Also, if a user has been inactive for 16.67 years, all pack's prices will drop to zero and not increase ever again.
=== Other Miscellaneous Features ===
When a set is released, its packs will go on a 25% off sale. This is to encourage players to buy the set's packs and see the new cards. In addition, if over $1,000 were spent on the game, you would not be allowed to play Multiplayer matches. Finally, for every three months that you have been inactive, the price of all packs will drop by 75 gems, but increase once a pack is bought.
