Tbf Fry didn't fight very competent opponents, that immorticia in game 3 should've totally won but she just passed on the obvious OTK turn lol. She would've been fine if she had zombot or any gravestone or any zombie into a teleport/ beam me up, but instead she was running control into nothing, my favorite deck. Not saying this deck isn't good ofc, but he's overhyping it for beating up incompetent players. Also that game 5 SB would've definitely been notably less easy if he didn't get the god hand of double clique peas. That Rustbolt in the last game also was running Cone Zone LMAO. The Smash in game 9 was running Deep Sea Garg and Big Borg (which he played 2 of)... like, running Big Borg, not even from Little Borg. Also was running Locust Swarm. And Total Eclipse. And King of the Grill. Yeah the deck was REALLY bad. Also idk why he was surprised to see a Mop Deck when Janitor was buffed this update. Ofc people will want to try it out.

Now that Mirror Nut is Bullseye, you should remake the Mirror Nut Grapes of Wrath deck and utilize some of the cards that got changed in the balance update.

Hey fry, I found out how the softlocks work, if you play either shield crusher viking or nurse garg in the field and it dies, the next attack that would trigger one of their abilities(any card hiting face for shield crusher or any garg doing damage) the game just stops working, I hope this helps ruin someone's day!

Here’s a dumb but funny deck idea, use a zombie deck that does little pings to the opponent’s hp bar and make them never block by having a Viking in your hand. It’d be silly and another deck to try while Viking is still bugged

[@Zeina_KC]

"Who runs Grass Knuckles in 2024" last video Then this title A change of heart I see

[@vivianyayay]

fry i don't know did you hear this before but the hearty class is currently the strongest class in the game, zombie king is basically broken. as soon as you have him in your hand EVERY card you play will become a knight, EVERY, as long as zombie king is in your hand, basically that means you can have a knight on turn one and three knights on turn two which is way overpowered and should be fixed as soon as possible lmao

So basically just Guardian Class with Plant Food

[@rafaelconstantino9736]

Fry video ,lets go

[@Mike-x1r2i]

Fry, you should try a fruit deck. Now with half banana there's a fruit sinergy as you know, but it's actually good paired with plants that use the buff well. I created a deck with green shadow because she has a lot of good fruits. The deck obviusly bases in half banana buff to fruits. The fruits that I think that have a good sinergy with half banana are: The pear that cost 2 sun works surprisingly well with half banana because it becomes a 3/3(or more) that has team up and amphibious witch is amazing; split banana whitch I am not sure if it's good but it becomes a 5/5 that creates half bananas; Star fruit that with a small buff becomes a goat(3/3 counters brainy, beastly and hearty and kinda sneaky; then a 4/4 that counters everything but brainy and except in some decks crazy); and for last Brainnana whitch becomes a 5/4 amphibious with a amazing ability for countering brainy class. Other cards that I used and work well: Dragon fruit(not a lot of copies), captain cucumber and banana peel. The other cards are just control and nutrients.

[@GloppyGluppy]

30:04 great now everyone will be playing grass knuckles now sense fry said that

[@thatjonperson1261]

for time to shine, i feel like i would switch it with captain combustible. So instead time to shine gives +4 while cc super does the bonus attack

[@hopa5038]
