'''Bloon Amalgamation''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|6.0}}. It removes the 5 [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s most recently added to the player's [[graveyard]] from the game, then summons a [[Bloon Amalgam]]<!--we will mention Must Pop in that article... not here--> with health and delay equal to the combined health and delay of the removed Bloons (which also generates 1 [[Bloontonium]]).

* | *Bloon Amalgamation will often be an extremely slow Bloon, being too slow to leak. The Must Pop property forces the opponent to take action against it. | ||

*[[Undead]] Bloons not being placed into the graveyard should be kept in mind, as Ezili may be using [[Undead]] Bloons in her deck. It is best advised to not use [[Undead]] Bloons and Bloon Amalgamation together. | |||
*Using 0 delay Bloons can potentially make the Amalgam a leaking threat by being an extremely fast Bloon. Using three [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloons]] and two [[Setup Bloon|Setup Bloons]] makes an Amalgam have 340 health at 0 delay, making it a very effective and powerful burn tool. The issue is that it is very difficult to set this up, as Bloon Amalgam will quickly be saturated with stronger Bloons from the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]], and you need 5 specific cards to get it. An alternative is using 0 delay Bloons alongside 1 delay Bloons, using [[MOAB Construction Facility]] or [[Quick Ready]] to get a low delay Amalgam to burn the opponent. | *Using 0 delay Bloons can potentially make the Amalgam a leaking threat by being an extremely fast Bloon.

During playtesting for Version 6.2, Bloon Amalgamation had its Bloon Amalagam proposed by community testers to suit either for tempo or burn decks.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTs-Rj9TCVw|title=BCS 6.2 Tester Commentary|publisher=YouTube, Odyssey}}</ref> Tempo-favored playtesters proposed capping the delay of Bloon Amalagam,<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video" /> while burn-favored playtesters proposed making it more compatible as a niche method of creating a high-Health 0-delay Bloon with Pinks.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video" /> Instead of either design, Ninja Kiwi decided to add Must Pop, to the surprise of many community testers; this has ended up making Bloon Amalagam a unique way for [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]] to generate a very high Health Must Pop Bloon, as well as making Ezili more viable.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video" /> | |||
