Overview: the best deck for every hero
This is the hub: the single best-rated deck for all 22 heroes in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, pulled from our live user database and ordered by composite score. Whether you main a plant or a zombie, your hero's strongest current list is here — with the full 40 cards, a one-tap copy button, and the scores behind the ranking. Two pairs of heroes share a class identity and therefore a deck: Super Brainz / Huge-Gigantacus (both Brainy and Sneaky) and Citron / Beta-Carrotina (both Guardian and Smarty), which is why 22 heroes produce 20 entries.
At the very top, Fig Lottery on Solar Flare is the best deck in the game right now at a 99.2 score with perfect 100 synergy and 100 power, just ahead of Reflourished (Captain Combustible) and Soteria (Spudow). The best zombie deck overall is BoSS on Rustbolt. Ten heroes carry an S-grade list this month; the rest sit comfortably in A, with only Brain Freeze's Teched Lock-In landing in B. To find your hero fast, use the faction-grouped hero index in the sidebar, the table below, or the search and Plants / Zombies filters on the deck list.
