Fun Fact: Once upon a time down in the depths of Hollow Earth. Sunshroom carried the many fallen Soldiers of the Pea army and some Lighting Reeds that died fighting Neptuna and her pirates, bringing them back to his hidden base. Combining them (brutally) with his god-like powers to create one of his greatest inventions yet. Electric Peashooter! Rumours say that he’s now creating an entire army of them to take over Hollow Earth. However there is no concrete evidence for this claim as many who once approached Sunshroom’s home had all disappeared due to unknown reasons… 

‘But wouldn’t this be too overpowered/underpowered?”

Not at all, If you play this dry on turn 1 Zombies have like 1 billion ways to deal with ts. Even if the Zombie Hero plays it’s Zombies on turn 1, this won’t do sh!t and just ping your opp’s block meter because it requires another plant in order to grow. This is still straight a$$ if you trade it with a 1 cost Zombie like Cheese cuz you are STILL pinging your opp’s block meter. You need to at least wait till turn 2-3 to actually get some value out of EP. Also, I know you can play a 0 cost minion with this and create a 3/2 in the field, but placing lil buddy without actually healing yourself AND on top of fronting a plant is just SAD. (This needs a plant NEXT to it to grow, IN FRONT OF it DOESN’T count.) Puff shroom is another 0 cost plant,  but it still has issues like pinging your block meter and Kabloom itself can’t really support EP really well (There isn’t really that many good 1-2 cost that supports EP really well, Wild Berry is inconsistent and Fire weed has side effects unless you are running Squeedew((who can’t run EP)) . Shroom for two is meh, other 1 drops in Kabloom are just Straight up HORROR ((Rip Blooming Heart)) which makes Veloci-Raptors the only good one with EP, But generally you should run Guardian or Mega Grow as Guardian has a bunch of good 1 drops and a bunch of health buff which helps out EP as he’s a really fragile card, and Mega Grow because it’s literally the class FILLED WITH PEAS)It suffers the same as any tempo card like Tricarrotops and Double Mint being that it’s really weak to Crazy, Beastly, and Hearty while it is still growing and even in it’s grown state it’s still weak to Brainy and Sneaky. And especially Sneaky because they have like a bunch of ways to remove this or make it unable to attack easily like Deadly, Pogo, Yeti, Frosty Mustache etc. Every Zombie class can counter this easily so I don’t think that this will be a problematic card. That being said, it isn't a useless card. Far from it actually, it’s a very good early game aggro card with CZ (since WK is ok but is slightly worse than CZ and the two other heroes doesn’t do aggro well in this meta(( RIP Pumpking and Apple Saucer))), Synergitizes with Lily and other good early game cards like Bonk Choy, Clique Pea, Cosmoss, and Split Pea well. But most importantly CZ now finally, like GS and GK, has a good 1 cost card for Gatling! And that’s def a good thing as Wing Nut is just average in both Pea dax and aggro CZ, other heroes at least have 1 viable 1 cost pea for Gatling too so why not give CZ one too? (We don’t talk about CC)

In conclusion, this can def generate immense value if the Zombies hero ignores it or has nothing to counter him. However, the chances are pretty low as every Zombie class at least have 1 good way to control him and you sometimes just can’t even do that because your hand can sometimes bric (Not getting enough 1-2 drops) This will also buff CZ a bit but she has no other good 1 drop Pea like GS or GK so it will be a lot more balanced than you might think. I think EP will have a high chance of appearing in set 5 (if that ever happens) so this is sort of a version that I want Popcap to take.

TL;DR: Wouldn’t be op but wouldn’t be useless and is balanced with CZ aggro and WK aggro.
