The 9 cards and why each one is here

The deck as the source plays it.

Guaca SageCost 3 Β·
Without it the score barely changes

Ready: Temp increases this Minion's ATK by 80%/80%/80%/120% if it's at 3β˜….

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Strong pressure in the first rounds and holds well until R6, but needs another carry for the late game.

Don't have it? Use Turnipette (score 0.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Without it the score barely changes

Fires a volley of 4/5/6/10 bullets at the enemy, each dealing 40% damage.

  • Community tier list, April video (S): S with the slow Variant. Without it (A), its burst still breaks the snail Boss's shields and wins games on that Boss.

Don't have it? Use Turnipette (score +5.0)

Owned by default.

Without it the score drops 5.0

Attacks 6/7/8/15 enemies at once, dealing 40% damage.

  • Community tier list, April video (S): With Variant II it attacks again on every kill and clears the wave alone. Without it (A): good early damage, hits many enemies, breaks shields.

Don't have it? Use Turnipette (score +5.0)

Owned by default.

Leeky BeatsCost 5 Β·
Without it the score drops 10.0

Aura: Increases the ATK of all adjacent Minions by 2/4/8/24.

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (C): An ATK aura for neighbors, good early, but it works alone and no deck revolves around it. The Variant is more interesting.

Don't have it? Use Headless Jack (score +14.0)

Azure AstrologerCost 5 Β·
Without it the score drops 10.0

Ready: Increases the ATK of 1 random Frozen Minions in the Shop by +4/8/16/48. If there are none, instead increases this Minion's ATK by +4/8/16/48.

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (A): Made for the Orange Bros deck. It shines at level 10, when it no longer needs a frozen Shop card. Much weaker outside that deck.

Don't have it? Use Orange Bros (score 0.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

SunkeeperCost 5
Without it the score barely changes

Ready: Suncoins +1/2/4/12.

  • Part of the plan: Spending economy: Lady Tulip.
  • Community tier list, April video (C): Gives Sun every Ready (an active version of Coco Coinhog), but cost 5 is expensive for what it does. Still works in some decks.

Don't have it? Use Orange Bros (score 0.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Lady TulipCost 8 Β·
Without it the score drops 5.0

Aura: Increases Lady Tulip's ATK by +2/4/8/32 for each Suncoin you have spent this round.

  • Main piece (β˜…): the plan revolves around it.
  • Core piece of the plan: Spending economy: Lady Tulip.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Win condition of the spend-Sun deck, with pressure in rounds 7 to 9. Without the Variant the buff is huge but temporary; with it, smaller and permanent. Swings a lot with the weekly Blessing.

Don't have it? Use Pumpkin King (score 0.0)

Obtained by clearing Adventure Mode 2-3

AlchemushCost 8
Without it the score drops 5.0

Deploy: Temp increases the selected Minion's ATK by 50.

  • Community tier list, April video (C): A big buff, but only for one round, and it takes a cost 8 slot. Might fit the Orange Bros deck.

Don't have it? Use Rosen Death (score -5.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Without it the score barely changes

Deploy: Steals ATK from all Shop Minions, gaining 90% ATK.

  • Community tier list, April video (C): Weak on its own: it steals ATK from Shop Minions. With frozen Eggydjinns next to it, it becomes A and hits for thousands. Buy it if you see it.

Don't have it? Use Muscle Melon (score 0.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

How to play the match

Freeze an attacker in the Shop (the guide suggests Pop Gunner or Apple Sheriff): Azure Astrologer gives it ATK every round. Acorn Outlaw's Deploy steals 90% of the ATK of every Shop Minion, so buy it once the Shop is buffed. Lady Tulip gains ATK per Suncoin spent in the round; Sunkeeper gives more Suncoins. Leeky Beats goes in the middle, next to your attackers: its Aura buffs every adjacent Minion.

Questions

Which card should I level first?

Azure Astrologer: taking it to level 10 raises the score by 5.0, more than any other card in the deck.

Can I play it without spending money?

Yes: no card in the deck is from the paid Battle Pass.

What if I don't have Leeky Beats?

Use Headless Jack instead (score +14.0). It's the card that matters most: without it the score drops 10.0.

4-card core that a community PvP guide recommends from 700 Trophies; the deck builder filled the other 5 slots. Builder score: 96 (Carry style).

Deck builder scores at level 8 (1,000 to 2,199 Trophies), from simulated matches that run until a Captain dies, as in the game. Opponents: 150 random decks and the 6 meta decks the builder generated itself. The fight was calibrated on Oct 10 with my own real matches.

  • Oct 06, 2026: guide rebuilt in the new format (versions, round by round, leveling order, Variants and matchups), with the recalibrated deck builder and APK 2.0.1021 numbers.
