Relies on Turnipette: without it the score drops 28.
Community tier list, April video (B): Comfortable early game: gains ATK by itself every Ready. Doesn't carry the late game against Tomato Twister, Orange Bros or Headless Jack.
Ready: If below 2β , grants this Minion +1 β rank. If at 2β or higher, demotes to 1β .
Main piece (β ): the plan revolves around it.
Works together with: Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut, Bombercarrot, Floral Friar.
Community tier list, April video (B): Goes up and down a star by itself every Ready, feeding promotions to the Kraut and Sister Cherry deck. A support, not the finisher. At level 10 it triggers Bombercarrot.
Don't have it? Use Apple Sheriff (score +10.0)
Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.
Grants other Minions an ATK increase of 1/2/4/10 when they are promoted.
Main piece (β ): the plan revolves around it.
Works together with: Princeling, Dr. Kraut, Bombercarrot, Floral Friar.
Community tier list, April video (B): Gives ATK to other Minions when they're promoted. Strong in specific promotion decks, with Princeling and Dr. Kraut.
When a Minion is promoted, Dr. Kraut gains 1/2/4/12 ATK.
Main piece (β ): the plan revolves around it.
Works together with: Princeling, Sister Cherry, Bombercarrot, Floral Friar.
Community tier list, April video (A): Gains ATK on every promotion and loops in the promotion deck (Princeling, Sister Cherry, Bombercarrot). The Variant gives ATK per 3β Minion on the board and pairs with 2 Hogsteen at 3β .
When you Deploy this Minion or any Minion is promoted, place 1/1/1/3 Carrot Bombs with 100%/110%/120%/120% of this Minion's ATK on the field. They explode to deal Area Damage when touched by an enemy.
Works together with: Princeling, Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut, Floral Friar.
Community tier list, April video (B): With a level 10 Princeling, every promotion drops explosive carrots on the lane. Part of the promotion deck with Kraut. The base card beats the Variant.
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.
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 Headless Jack (score +19.0)
Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.
4 random Minions gain 1/2/4/16 ATK whenever a Minion is promoted.
Main piece (β ): the plan revolves around it.
Works together with: Princeling, Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut, Bombercarrot.
Community tier list, April video (B): Triggers on promotions (pairs with Princeling) and its Variant buffs 3β Minions: good in the Kraut deck and with Chomper's summons.
Increases this Minion's ATK by 2/4/8/32 whenever an enemy is defeated.
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 Muscle Melon (score +5.0)
Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.
Ready: Increases the ATK of other Minions by +2/4/8/32 (only 1 of each duplicate).
Instead grants ATK +4/8/16/64 if there are no duplicates on the field.
Community tier list, April video (A): Buffs the whole board every round, doubled with no repeated copies on the board. An easy A by usage; ranked behind the attackers because it's a support.
Don't have it? Use Pumpkin King (score 0.0)
Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.
How to play the match
Princeling early and Tomato Twister as early as you can. Each Princeling promotion gives Dr. Kraut ATK, buffs the promoted Minion through Sister Cherry and spreads ATK through Floral Friar. With Princeling at level 10 the demotion also counts as a promotion and the loop doubles: level it first. Loses to 3β Orange Bros with speed, to Headless Jack with Boom Shroom and to Chomper.

Questions
Which card should I level first?
Turnipette: taking it to level 10 raises the score by 29.0, 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 Sister Cherry I instead of Sister Cherry: +5.0 score. Variants come from Rumble Chess and Variant Recruit (unlocked at 700 Trophies).
What if I don't have Turnipette?
Use Seed Peon instead (score -5.0). It's the card that matters most: without it the score drops 28.0.

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.
