*For an Uncommon card,<!--comparison of its own rarity compared to cards it draws--> Rare Power guarantees any of the Rare rarity cards, allowing to cycle through vital Rares sooner but at the cost of Gold. It's not particularly valuable compared to [[Pick]] cards and traditional draw cards; many players rely on multiple Rares, increasing difficulty for Rare Power to isolate a wincon from Rares alone, Rare Power encourages a full hand, and is not efficient in early-game.<!--there is storm of arrows early picks, but... that's too early and there's not enough 3_or_less_g rares--> | *For an Uncommon card,<!--comparison of its own rarity compared to cards it draws--> Rare Power guarantees any of the Rare rarity cards, allowing to cycle through vital Rares sooner but at the cost of Gold.

*Having too many Rare Powers in a deck can fill the hand often with the drawn Powers. Drawing all three Rare Powers at once is bad, because they'll easily get stuck in your hand, wasting the extra draws. | *Having too many Rare Powers in a deck can fill the hand often with the drawn Powers.

* | *Some draw and pick cards are also Rares. Thus, it's not recommended to pair with multi-charge draw cards like [[Clever Green Bloon]] and [[White Bloon (BCS)|White Bloon]]. | ||
*Some draw or removal cards are not Rares, and thus won't become candidates for Rare Power. [[Bed Time]] is the only Uncommon Monkey removal, and [[Zebra Bloon (BCS)|Zebra Bloon]] is also Uncommon. | |||
*Although its capability to draw Rare damaging Monkeys is decent, having them in your deck can make it harder to draw more important cards. | |||
*To maximize card draws with a Rare Power that has 2 charges, make sure to have 7 or less cards in your hand. | |||
