Death Cap (Venera651)

Death Cap is a Tide Legendary Plant card and a member of the class. It costs 6 to play, and its ability gives Plants there and next door +3 and Bullseye.
==Origins==
It is based on the death cap (Amanita phalloides), a poisonous member of the genus Amanita.
Its design is based on the Grim Reaper, a personification of death who often causes death by collecting the souls of its victims. The "scythe" mushroom also resembles a plague doctor, a physician that treated victims of the bubonic plague; some plague doctors were second-rate doctors or completely lacked medical training, leading some to associate plague doctors with death. The mushroom's cap is shaped like the beak of a plague doctor's mask, often filled with scented herbs to protect the doctor from the wretched stench of decay. The small mushroom acts as the scythe's hat.

===Card description===
These three put the "dead" in "the undead".
==Strategies==
===With===
Death Cap is a 6/6 that gives quite a few Plants Bullseye. This can easily prevent the Zombie Hero from blocking a bunch of Plants, which can easily lead to a lot of damage being done with little retaliation. Even if Death Cap is destroyed, Plants with the buff retain it. This combined with a swarming Mushroom deck leads to lots of 4 Plants with Bullseye. Even if you don't directly hit the Zombie Hero, that extra can put down hefty Zombie cards like Supernova Gargantuar or Undying Pharaoh. The extra also guards them from Weed Spray.
Despite its obvious design for swarming decks, remember that it gives any and all cards Bullseye; this means that it can give a hard hitter, such as Poison Oak or Grapes of Wrath (note that Grapes of Wrath loses Bullseye upon death). Sergeant Strongberry also benefits greatly from this card, and if 2 are present the game is essentially won once a Berry touches the Zombie Hero. Unfortunately, this combo requires quite a bit of set-up with expensive cards, so don't rely too heavily on it.
===Against===
Ending the game before this card enters play is a good idea. Death Cap can't really be countered, as the buff it gives to Plants remains after its death. However, you can reduce its impact; destroying little Plant enemies prevents them from transitioning from a 1/1 to a 4/1 Plant with Bullseye. Note that Death Cap only increases Plants' capacity to hurt, not get hurt; mass damaging cards as a Hero can cull the masses that Death Cap can empower. Rocket Science and Locust Swarm can eliminate dangerous Plants that can cause lots of trouble with Bullseye, such as Heartichoke or Pod Fighter.
