I finally got a chance to experiment with this a bit. I think the way to go is to Titan Guitar down the whole level and then explore the whole map at 1st level. In doing so, you'll earn enough EM piety to almost literally fill the entire map with plants, and you'll still have enough mana left over to rearrange the map with WEYWUT/Fireball/ENDISWAL. It's nice to have all of the piety generation and usage over and done with at the beginning, and you don't have to worry about accidentally healing monsters when rustling your plants. I'd say gain one or two levels from petrification alone, and then start blasting a level 9 or maybe even the boss. Pactmaker is very nice here. I actually used Spirit Pact!
Playing around a bit more, I'd say the way to do this is very similar to how you play the Acid Caster. There's enough piety to fill the board entirely with plants, probably several times over, so worry less about plant/piety efficiency and more about getting utility. I'd recommend taking 5 hits of Vine Form and 10-13 hits of Greenblood before spam clicking Entanglement and filling the board. The Greenblood significantly improves your plant/damage ratio, and Vine Form is handy during the set up, allowing you to push midlevel meatmen around and clear statues as you explore.
