'''Even More Tacks''' is a [[Primary]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|6.0}}. It is a [[temporary]] [[defender]] that gains 1 ammo for every 2 [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] spent to place it (rounded down). Its cost is equal to the player's current Gold in hand and when selected by a [[Pick]] card ([[Nature's Clarity]] will create shield equal to that value). Stealing this Monkey (via [[Expert Negotiator]]) does not re-trigger its special effect. It cannot manually attack Bloons.

Its cost is equal to the player's current Gold in hand and when selected by a [[Pick]] card ([[Nature's Clarity]] will create shield equal to that value). Playing it for free via [[Monkey Summons]] will count as if no Gold was spent. Stealing this Monkey (via [[Expert Negotiator]]) does not re-trigger its special effect. It cannot manually attack Bloons.

The card artwork depicts a monkey carrying an opened crate of tacks near an Even More Tacks, located inside warehouse.

==Tips==

*Without any Monkey removals (e.g. [[Shrink]]) or ammo removals (e.g. [[Whoops]], [[Ceasefire]]), Even More Tacks can be very effective against 0-delay Bloons with enough ammo. Its only disadvantage is that it cannot manually attack Bloons.

**With 20 Gold spent, it has 11 ammo, essentially up to ~~385~~ damage if it uses all ammo.

**With 20 Gold spent, it has 11 ammo, essentially up to 440 damage if it uses all ammo.

*Combining a high ammo Even More Tacks with buffs such as [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin’s]] Heat It Up or [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay’s]] Rad Enhancements can make it deal absurd damage. Keep in mind though that Even More Tacks can be removed by cards like [[Return to Sender]] before it gets a chance to attack with buffed stats.

*[[Favored Trade]] can be used on Even More Tacks to get the maximum possible refund of 10 Gold when removing a 20 gold Even More Tacks. This can be used for OTK decks to gain as much money as a [[Quincy Action Figure]] without having to spend gold on placing and replacing it.
