Overview: Nightcap in the June 2026 meta

Nightcap is the leader of the Kabloom and Smarty classes, and one of the game's premier aggressive heroes. The signature superpower, Mush-Boom, drops a 1/1 Poison Mushroom and pings a zombie for 2, setting the tone for a hero built to close games quickly with cheap mushrooms, beans, and Kabloom burn like Berry Blast, Sizzle, and Fig. The Smarty half adds tempo and reach — Brainana, Winter Melon, and Shrinking Violet — to paper over Nightcap's traditional weakness in the late game.

The list splits into three families. At the top, Toyota Controlla is a tempo-control build with a perfect 100 synergy that leads the pack at 93.8. Below it sit the cycle decks — mushroom engines like Cycular Reasoning, cycle, and BLOOM Shakalaka that chain Astro Shroom, Admiral Navy Bean, and Planet of the Grapes for draw — and the Paradise aggro builds wrapped around Bird of Paradise and Pear's Paradise. Nightcap doesn't have an S-tier deck this month; the field tops out at A, with only Blowster's Paradise dropping to B.

    la Lala Lavaaaaa

    Score: 90.2 · Grade: A Synergy: 91 Power: 79 Consistency: 93 By: FryEmUp

    A burn-forward Kabloom build leaning on Lava Guava, Sizzle, Berry Blast, and Banana Bomb to melt the board. Bird of Paradise and Fig provide payoffs while Imitater doubles the best card in hand — a consistent 93 aggro plan with real reach.

    #5 ☀ Nightcap Paradise aggro

    CSangpstas Paradise

    Score: 88.45 · Grade: A Synergy: 87 Power: 78 Consistency: 92 By: FryEmUp

  6. Nightcap
    #6 ☀ Nightcap Mushroom cycle

    cycle

    Score: 88.4 · Grade: A Synergy: 100 Power: 65 Consistency: 78 By: MakeMeACoffee, Slewer

    A purer take on the mushroom cycle, with a perfect 100 synergy. Shroom For Two and Astro Shroom flood the board cheaply, Planet of the Grapes refills the hand, and Cro-Magnolia plus Wild Berry add burn. Lower consistency than its cousin, but an exceptionally tight synergy package.

  7. Nightcap
    #7 ☀ Nightcap Paradise aggro

    Snakesta's Paradise

    Score: 88.15 · Grade: A Synergy: 87 Power: 77 Consistency: 92 By: FryEmUp

    A near-twin of the other Paradise lists that swaps in a full Snake Grass set for extra repeatable pressure. Molekale and Reincarnation recur the threats while Bird of Paradise and Pear's Paradise anchor the payoffs — a consistent 92 aggro deck.

  8. Nightcap
    #8 ☀ Nightcap Berry tempo

    autorun

    Score: 88 · Grade: A Synergy: 85 Power: 80 Consistency: 85 By: Mono, Xera

    A balanced berry-tempo build with Sportacus as a repeatable threat and Wild Berry plus Berry Blast for burn. Shrinking Violet and Winter Melon add Smarty control while Fig and Brainana keep the value flowing — a flexible midrange take on Nightcap.

  9. Nightcap
    #9 ☀ Nightcap Bloom combo

    BLOOM Shakalaka

    Score: 87.95 · Grade: A Synergy: 99 Power: 61 Consistency: 100 By: FryEmUp

    An all-four-of mushroom combo deck with a perfect 100 consistency. Cosmic Bean and Sonic Bloom reward the wide board that Shroom For Two, Astro Shroom, and Puff Shroom build, while Planet of the Grapes keeps the cards coming. Lower raw power, but it plays the same explosive game every time.

  10. Nightcap
    #10 ☀ Nightcap Honorable mention

    Blowster's Paradise

    Score: 87.35 · Grade: B Synergy: 89 Power: 72 Consistency: 92 By: FryEmUp

    The lone B-tier — a tempo-burn Paradise build that adds Leaf Blower for board resets and Winter Melon plus Shrinking Violet for stall. Dark Matter Dragonfruit and Fig supply the reach over a Banana-Bomb-and-Fireweed core. A solid, flexible alternative if you like a slower Paradise plan.
