Top 10 Best Bad Moon Rising Decks

Overview: Bad Moon Rising in the June 2026 meta

Bad Moon Rising is the Brainy trick that defines a whole family of zombie decks: a 7-brain event that transforms every zombie on the field into random zombies costing 5 or more. Flood the lawn with cheap, disposable bodies, drop the trick, and a row of throwaway one-drops leaps into a wall of giants in a single click. Every deck in this top 10 is a different machine for getting there — ramping the brains to cast it early, teleporting extra fodder onto the board, or stacking it on top of other transform effects so something is always upgrading.

This month the archetype is led by the A-tier, with no deck quite cracking into S. Ramp Moon Feasting on Professor Brainstorm takes the crown at a 90.5 composite score with a perfect 100 power rating, while Rustbolt's Gentleman's Leap and the Super Brainz / Huge-Gigantacus pair — Wormhole Snacekeeper and Dead Moon Rising — round out the top four. Because Super Brainz and Huge-Gigantacus lead the same Brainy and Sneaky classes, several lists here run on either hero.

   #1 🧠 Professor Brainstorm Best overall

   Ramp Moon Feasting

   Score: 90.5 · Grade: A Synergy: 74 Power: 100 Consistency: 92 Year: 2022 By: FryEmUp

   The defining Bad Moon Rising build of the month and a perfect 100 power score. Gentleman Zombie, Medulla Nebula, and Rocket Science rush the brains so the 7-cost trick lands well ahead of curve, while Teleport and Teleportation Zombie pad the board with bodies to transform. Bad Moon Rising flips the whole lawn into random 5-plus-cost giants, and a pair of Gargantuars' Feast cashes that wall of monsters into lethal. Professor Brainstorm's natural ramp makes this the cleanest, most explosive expression of the archetype.

   #2 🧠 Rustbolt Top contender

   Gentleman's Leap

   Score: 89.95 · Grade: A Synergy: 76 Power: 96 Consistency: 91 Year: 2022 By: FryEmUp

   Rustbolt's transform-tribal shell that stacks Bad Moon Rising on top of Evolutionary Leap and Transformation Station for a board that simply never stops upgrading. Gentleman Zombie, Brain Vendor, and Rocket Science rush the brains while Zombie King and Going Viral reload the cheap fodder. The deck wins by leaping a flood of throwaway bodies into a lawn of giants several turns early — a 96 power rating that gets by on just two copies of the trick because so many other cards already transform things.

   #3 🧠 Super Brainz / Huge-Gigantacus High tier

   Wormhole Snacekeeper

   Score: 89.7 · Grade: A Synergy: 74 Power: 96 Consistency: 100 Year: 2025 By: FryEmUp

   A flawless 100 consistency score, earned the honest way: ten cards, every one a four-of. Buried Treasure and Dr. Spacetime cheat the teleport package out early, Wormhole Gatekeeper and Mad Chemist anchor the board, and Frosty Mustache plus Thinking Cap keep the value flowing. Bad Moon Rising is the transform payoff that turns the gatekept wall into a row of random giants. Since Super Brainz and Huge-Gigantacus lead the same Brainy/Sneaky classes, this exact list runs on either hero.

   #4 🧠 Super Brainz / Huge-Gigantacus Meta staple

   Dead Moon Rising

   Score: 89.6 · Grade: A Synergy: 79 Power: 91 Consistency: 93 Year: 2022 By: FryEmUp

   A token-flood take on the archetype that leans on cheap, replaceable bodies. Imposter, Cosmic Imp, and Zom-Blob crowd the lanes for next to nothing, Brain Vendor ramps toward an early trick, and Barrel Roller Zombie plus Barrel of Barrels add reach and reload. When Bad Moon Rising fires it converts that pile of one- and two-drops into a board of random 5-plus monsters — the wider the lawn at that moment, the bigger the swing.

   #5 🧠 Professor Brainstorm Strong combo deck

   Valk Trickster BMR

   Score: 88.65 · Grade: A Synergy: 70 Power: 100 Consistency: 83 Year: 2018 By: FryEmUp

   The original 2018 brute-force build, and another perfect 100 power score. Valkyrie and Quazard supply the bodies, Trickster and Bad Moon Rising both transform the board into something far scarier, and Exploding Fruitcake plus Beam Me Up clear blockers and reposition for the kill. It has the highest ceiling on the page paired with one of the lower floors — the 83 consistency reflects how much it leans on drawing its combo pieces in the right order.

   #6 🧠 Super Brainz / Huge-Gigantacus Reliable pick

   All-Out Conjure

   Score: 88.45 · Grade: A Synergy: 71 Power: 98 Consistency: 84 Year: 2025 By: FryEmUp

   A value-grind build that leans hard into Huge-Gigantacus's conjure identity. Cosmic Scientist, Thinking Cap, Frosty Mustache, and Duckstache bury the opponent under extra cards, Wormhole Gatekeeper and Laser Base Alpha hold the board, and Dr. Spacetime gets discounted off the conjure superpowers. Bad Moon Rising is the closer that flips the accumulated board into giants — a 98 power score, with a slightly softer consistency from its spread of two-ofs.

   #7 🧠 Super Brainz / Huge-Gigantacus Solid option

   Good Moon Rising

   Score: 88.45 · Grade: A Synergy: 74 Power: 93 Consistency: 93 Year: 2025 By: FryEmUp

   An imp-tribal flood that pairs beautifully with the transform payoff. Imp Throwing Imp, Toxic Waste Imp, and Imp Commander spit out a swarm of tiny bodies, Medulla Nebula and Buried Treasure ramp toward the trick, and Imposter copies whatever your best threat happens to be. Bad Moon Rising then upgrades the entire imp army into random 5-plus giants in a single click — a tidy, balanced 93/93 consistency-and-power profile.

   #8 🧠 Rustbolt Niche threat

   Trick-Bolt Bad Moon Rising

   Score: 88.2 · Grade: A Synergy: 82 Power: 83 Consistency: 92 Year: 2022 By: FryEmUp

   Rustbolt's trick-centric shell and the highest synergy score in the top ten at 82. Flag Zombie, Brain Vendor, and Rocket Science accelerate the brains so the 7-cost event drops well ahead of schedule, while Teacher, Middle Manager, Healthy Treat, and Going Viral keep the engine humming and the hand stocked. Bad Moon Rising is the lone wincon, transforming a modest board into a threatening one — a build that prizes grind and consistency over raw power.

   #9 🧠 Super Brainz / Huge-Gigantacus Playable niche

   Conjure Lean BMR

   Score: 87.6 · Grade: A Synergy: 77 Power: 87 Consistency: 91 Year: 2021 By: FryEmUp

   A lean transform engine that doubles up on board-flipping effects — Evolutionary Leap, Transformation Station, Mixed-Up Gravedigger, and Bad Moon Rising all upgrade your zombies, so something is almost always leaping into something bigger. Interdimensional Zombie and Pogo Zombie provide the cheap fuel, Brain Vendor ramps the trick online, and Dr. Spacetime supplies the teleport value. A streamlined 2021 list that trades explosiveness for a steady, reliable stream of upgrades.

    #10 🧠 Professor Brainstorm Honorable mention

    ValkStache BMR

    Score: 86.75 · Grade: B Synergy: 64 Power: 99 Consistency: 93 Year: 2026 By: FryEmUp

    Rounding out the top ten, a mustache-themed Valkyrie build with a near-perfect 99 power score. Mustache Waxer and Mustache Monument buff the squad, Valkyrie and Quazard bring the beef, and Gentleman Zombie plus Rocket Science ramp Bad Moon Rising online early. It's the lone B grade here — a low 64 synergy score reflects how loosely the mustache package and the transform finisher actually fit together — but when the power does come online, it hits like a truck.
