'''Setup Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. If it hits the opponent's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]], it reduces the [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] cost of a random Bloon in the player's hand by 1. It has a Delay of 0, so it will attack the opponent at the end of the same turn it's played on under normal circumstances. | '''Setup Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''.

Anything with two charges or above saves you more Gold than you spend on the Setup Bloon, with 2 charge Bloons giving +1 overall Gold and 3 charge Bloons giving +3 overall Gold. Cards like [[Swarm Yellow Bloon]], [[Swarm Green Bloon]], [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], [[Strike Bloon]], or other early game aggressive Bloons are particularly powerful when discounted. | ||
* | *Discounting Bloons can decrease the overall Bloontonium gain from them, so be wary when you need Bloontonium. | ||
* | *The random targeting on the discount from Setup Bloon means that you should try and create a hand where Setup Bloon will very often or always guarantee value, mainly by running mainly 2 charge or above Bloons. | ||
*With [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Passive Awesomeness or [[Ceramic Glazing Kiln]], this card deals only slightly less damage than a [[Bloon Strike]], while granting a discount. Although this is a fair use for it, the damage is still low and may make it a low value inclusion in burn decks in terms of damage or when hitting a 1 charge Bloon. | |||
*Setup Bloon is a cheap way to intercept an opponent's [[Hero Protection]] or [[Corvus Academy of Arts]] if they play either early. | |||
*Setup Bloon can be popped by [[Defender]]s or [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora]]'s passive ability, denying the discount. Play around Defenders to guarantee that it can gain value. | |||
