Shroom for Two - A Plants vs Zombies: Heroes Podcast

Hello Heroes!
We have A Very Special Episode of SFT for you this week. No not that kind, the series finale kind. This is our last episode, as adulthood has started demanding too much from us. But don’t think of it as a breakup, think of it as our funeral, that we get to stage ourselves because nobody’s dead. Oh yeah, also we talk about Set 4 because we hadn’t done the Triassic Triumph retrospective episode (retrospepisode) yet. It’s been a fun and exciting 20 months but all good things must come to an end. And one final shoutout to everyone we did this show for, be it from Reddit, Discord, Gmail, Youtube, Telegram, Periscope wherever. There’s no show without an audience and we’ve had a great one for this show’s lifetime. So for everyone here at Shroom For Two, this is Future Mike signing off.

Show notes:

I’d link the SNL we talk about at the end but it’s not on youtube because it’s from like 20 years ago.

Hello, Heroes!

In case you need an oasis from the whole internet talking about Game of Thrones or Avengers Endgame or maybe the Homestuck epilogue, Shroom For Two is here for you with another hot battle episode. This week Onion Rings Chompzilla and conjure Huge Giganticus. Check out the full video list here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLynMPM5_VbeIKWHeEEtunzwFCNvv9o2Et

Hello, Heroes!

Welcome to another battle episode of Shroom for Two! This episode features a face-off for two former favorites! Taylor and Mike took two deck archetypes from our crowddecking segments, Cyclecap and Valkstorm, and battled against each other! We each built a Cyclecap deck and a Valkstorm deck, and played two best-of-three matches. The matches are on our YouTube page, in the show notes below. The results may surprise you!

Hello, Heroes! 

Welcome to a newly nomenclatural episode of Shroom for Two! This week, we reach back to follow up on the Zoo-Mech deck with Gargologist. Taylor thought the deck was compatible with Headhunter as a payoff card, with dancing dudes at the low end and gargantuars at the high end. Mike, as the resident Headhunter-owner, gave it a spin to test the theory.

Afterwards, we jump into our next battle series! We’re going back through our crowddecking segments, picking pairs of decks that we think have a fun matchup together, and battling it out! Stay tuned for the first YouTube video in that series, and maybe more...

Hello, Heroes! 

Welcome to another growth-tacular episode of Shroom for Two! This week, Taylor and Mike take a look at long-neglected Core Set build-around-me Potted Powerhouse! We investigate what cards outside the Mega-Grow class work well with PP, and what the basis for a good Potted Powerhouse deck looks like.

Our conclusions may surprise you! Or, they may not, since we realize pretty quickly that Potted Powerhouse is quite clunky. Nevertheless, we give this oft-ignored combo piece the deckbuilding treatment and have fun doing it!

If you’re interested in chatting with us more about Potted Powerhouse, or anything else that strikes your fancy, come hang out with us in the #shroomfortwo channel on the PVZ Heroes Discord server! You can also find us at [email protected], and on YouTube at shroomfortwopodcast!

Hello, Heroes! Welcome to another gravedigging episode of Shroom for Two! We’re not digging our own graves this week - instead, we’re jamming Pogo Bouncers and Mixed-Up Gravediggers to show why Neptuna is the best Gravestone deck.

In our latest installment of Crowddecking, we break down the Gravetuna archetype into its core, its support cards, and its flex slots. We discuss how to play it, how to beat it, and how to build a deck that maximizes Enter the Battlefield abilities. 

If you’ve got decks to submit, questions to ask, or chill vibes to relax with, share them with us! Our discord channel is in the show notes below. Our email address is [email protected], and our YouTube channel is shroomfortwopodcast!

Until next time, may all your Gravediggers get maximum value.

Hello, Heroes! 

Welcome to another episode of Shroom for Two, where Taylor spreads the word of the new Philadelphia gospel: Did you know that all the food you’ve ever eaten is alive inside you, and that the only way to deal with that is to turn yourself into a statue? Neither did Mike! You’ll get some education on this latest nutritional trend. 

You’ll also receive some education on the subject of Frankentaur and Shieldcrusher Viking, the two main subjects of this episode. We discuss Mike’s latest video, and Taylor’s latest foray into Z-Mech go-wide beatdown. 

Do attend. 

If you’d like to send Mike and Taylor some listener mail, you can do so at [email protected], or in the PVZ Heroes Discord channel, #shroomfortwo!

Hello, Heroes! 

Welcome to another decktacular episode of Shroom for Two! After coming down from the world’s least exciting Super Bowl, Mike and Taylor dive deep into the new, post-rebalance decks you’ve been posting in the ShroomForTwo Discord channel. We present our most-played decks since the last show - Mike’s Beta Carrotina Bog of Enlightenment deck and Taylor’s Transfiguration Molekale deck.

Then, we review several decks posted by you all. Gravestones run rampant, along with some Chompzilla midrange and Zoo-mech Flag Zombie shenanigans. We take a bite out of some custom cards, and read a very touching listener mail.

Hello, Heroes!

The great rebalancing is upon us! The new balance patch has landed in PVZ Heroes, so it’s time to dive right in to the new meta. We’re diving in so deep, we recorded an entire second podcast this week! We recorded a Colossal Fossils retrospective on Wednesday, the night before the patch dropped.

When the patch arrived on Thursday, we decided to record again! Enjoy a bonus segment from future Mike, and future Taylor, on what we think the implications of the new patch will be. We talk about what we’ll be experimenting with, what we’re hoping we stop seeing, and where our question marks are.

Enjoy the balance patch, Heroes! See you on the ladder. Don’t forget to come hang out in the #ShroomForTwo channel on the PVZ Heroes Discord!
