'''Push the Initiative''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. It [[Stunned|stun]]s a target Bloon, and if the player has 0 Gold after playing it, it summons a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] if the player's side has space on their Bloon tracks. It can only be added to [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]] decks.

The card artwork portrays Striker Jones standing near a [[Yellow Bloon]] and creating a blast onto a [[Blue Bloon]]. The scene is rocky and set at dusk.

*A similar ~~card~~ to [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s [[Stunning Shot]], it trades 1 charge for the ability to summon a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] for free when out of Gold.

*You can use the [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] to put on pressure while simultaneously stunning an enemy Bloon to relieve a bit of pressure on yourself, making Push The Initiative a decent choice for ~~Tempo or~~ Aggro decks.

*You can use the [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] to put on pressure while simultaneously stunning an enemy Bloon to relieve a bit of pressure on yourself, making Push The Initiative a decent choice for Aggro decks. Do keep in mind that Striker Jones is not a great Aggro hero, so building around that may not be the greatest choice.

*Striker Jones is ill suited for Aggro and the Yellow generally isn’t very threatening, making this card not very strong in most decks. The Zero Gold condition also harms its use since it has a more specific activation than other cards.
