Sunkeeper
Sunkeeper is a cost 5 card in Plants on Fire. Rarity: Rare.
- Ready: Suncoins +1/2/4/12.
- Ready
- Effect triggers when both players are ready
In practice
Sunkeeper gives +1/2/4 Sun Coins every Ready (12 at 4★). With 2 ATK and a 3 s interval it barely fights, so it only pays off in an economy deck, and it is worth up to 2 copies. My guides list it next to Eggydjinn. Tier C in PvP. It drops from Harvest Pots, Recruitment and the S-Harvest Farm.

How star fusion works
2 copies at the same ★ merge into 1 copy at the next ★. 4★ only exists in Rumble Chess. In regular Co-op, your partner's Minions get a blue star and don't merge with yours.Card analysis

Works well with
Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
Sunkeeper "only pays off in an economy deck," and the guide names Eggydjinn as a partner in that deck type.
Measured by the wiki's simulation: the two cards do better together than each one alone (test in 3 neutral decks).
Wiki deduction from the official text: Both work on the Shop and buying: one raises the ATK of or discounts what's in the Shop, the other makes use of that ATK, the purchases or the refreshes.
Wiki deduction from the official text: One makes or keeps Sun Coins and the other turns Coins (held or spent) into ATK.

What the community says
CSituational
Gives Sun every Ready (an active version of Coco Coinhog), but cost 5 is expensive for what it does. Still works in some decks.

Builds using this card
Suncoin Economy (Sol)
Every purchase and Refresh counts as spending, which feeds the Suncoin-scaling cards. Slow and hard to pilot; best in Rumble Chess.
Azure Astrologer and Lady Tulip (700+ Trophies)
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).
Tomato Twister Carry
Get Tomato Twister early and stack buffs on it. Carrot Broker digs the Shop for 8-Cost Minions so you find it sooner.
Lady Tulip theorycraft (JitteryKennon)
A theorycrafted deck for players with the Candlemancer Badge and a Fortune Cat Charm. He says it's even better with Lady Tulip's Variant.
