Without it the score barely changes

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

  • Main piece (★): 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 Seed Peon (score +29.0)

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

HogsteenCost 3
Without it the score barely changes

Ready: Summons 2/2/2/4 1/2/3★ Temp Steenhogs that inherit 25% ATK.

  • Community tier list, April video (B): Summons stronger boars with each star and feeds Chomper. In PvP it's locked into that deck.

Don't have it? Use Turnipette (score +34.0)

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 +10.0)

Owned by default.

Without it the score drops 4.0

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 (★): 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 Chomper (score +24.0)

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

Without it the score barely changes

Aura: Increases all Minions' ATK SPD by +4%/8%/16%/48%.

  • Part of the plan: Tomato Twister (grows with every kill).
  • Community tier list, April video (A): Attack speed for every Minion. In almost every deck with more than one attacker (Tomato Twister, Headless Jack, Chomper): by usage, the most important support in A.

Don't have it? Use Chomper (score +10.0)

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

BerrinettaCost 5 ·
Without it the score barely changes

Attacks enemies in a small area, dealing 25%/25%/25%/100% damage and slowing them by 25%/40%/60%/60% for 3 sec.

  • Main piece (★): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Slows enemies entering the field. Lots of players run it and it decides close games.

Don't have it? Use Chomper (score +10.0)

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

Tomato TwisterCost 8 ·
Without it the score barely changes

Increases this Minion's ATK by 2/4/8/32 whenever an enemy is defeated.

  • Main piece (★): the plan revolves around it.
  • Core piece of the plan: Tomato Twister (grows with every kill).
  • Community tier list, April video (S): Gains ATK for every enemy defeated and snowballs fast; the opponent can't do much about it. Fits almost every deck (except Orange Bros). The strongest single card in the game.

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

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

Without it the score drops 9.0

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

  • 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 +15.0)

Obtained by clearing Adventure Mode 2-3

AlchemushCost 8
Without it the score barely changes

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 Pumpkin King (score +10.0)

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

How to play the match

Get Azure Astrologer on the field early and freeze a Guaca Sage in the Shop: her Ready raises a frozen Minion's ATK. Only unfreeze it when that guarantees a 3★ Guaca Sage with 100+ ATK. Tomato Twister is the carry, and Berrinetta's Slow and area damage hold the front for it. Bardcore Onion speeds up attacks. Hogsteen fills the field and hits random targets; Pop Gunner breaks shields and helps against Bosses and high-HP units up front. Lady Tulip is here because the deck spends a lot of Suncoins, and Alchemush goes on Guaca Sage.

Questions

Which card should I level first?

Azure Astrologer: taking it to level 10 raises the score by 15.0, 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.

Is it worth chasing a Variant?

The best is Guaca Sage I instead of Guaca Sage: +15.0 score. Variants come from Rumble Chess and Variant Recruit (unlocked at 700 Trophies).

What if I don't have Lady Tulip?

Use Pumpkin King instead (score +15.0). It's the card that matters most: without it the score drops 9.0.

Source and changelog

Deck by JitteryKennon (a player around 3,300 trophies) on the official Discord, #deck-building channel, Oct 4, 2026, with his explanation. I have not played this deck in a match yet; the score comes from the deck builder's simulator.

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.
  • Oct 09, 2026: deck added to the wiki.
