Outside of [[Adventure (BCS)|Adventure]]s and [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s, this card and [[Salvation]] are the only way for most cards that cannot normally be added to a deck (e.g. [[Baby Monkey]]) to be in a player's hand. | |||
The card art depicts [[Adora]], who was not a playable [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] until after the card was released, and uses her design from ''Bloons TD 6''. She is angry outside at the front door of a house near a parcel; she's frowning, pointing her finger outside with her right hand, and placing her left fist on her left hip. | The card art depicts [[Adora]], who was not a playable [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] until after the card was released, and uses her design from ''Bloons TD 6''.

*Monkeys with On Play effects can be replayed if removed by Return to Sender. Of these Monkeys, this is best used for [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]], which in some cases is better than on a Bloon, and [[Thunder Druid]], for another board clear. | *Monkeys with On Play effects can be replayed if removed by Return to Sender.

*If played while the opponent's hand is full, the card will not return, removing it completely like a true removal. However, this is never the case if used on the player's side, because playing Return to Sender would always give room to another card. Deleting an opponent's card is particularly impactful against long-term card wincons such as [[The Eternal]], as well as powerful Ultra Rares like [[Grand Saboteur]] and [[MOAB Eliminator (BCS)|MOAB Eliminator]]. | *If played while the opponent's hand is full, the card will not return, removing it completely like a true removal.

*Against a Return to Sender, be careful not to buff the same Bloon or Monkey too much. For instance, with multiple of the same Monkey, split [[Try this!]] across the Monkeys, and with Bloons avoid buffing the same Bloon twice. Evading Return to Sender via delay reduction onto a Bloon to 0 (especially [[Quick Ready]]) can also work for decks equipped for this. | *Against a Return to Sender, be careful not to buff the same Bloon or Monkey too much.

*Computer opponents, especially [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]], don't use Return to Sender effectively on your cards; very often, they target the most expensive Monkey or Bloon, or the lowest delay Bloon with highest Health, don't single out scalers or Unique cards, and often don't think about the possibility of the affected card being re-played. | *Computer opponents, especially [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]], don't use Return to Sender effectively on your cards; very often, they target the most expensive Monkey or Bloon, or the lowest delay Bloon with highest Health, don't single out scalers or Unique cards, and often don't think about the possibility of the affected card being re-played. | ||
*Against Dreadbloon, Return to Sender is beneficial, limiting Dreadbloon from overbuffing individual Bloons with Health and/or Armor, stalling out a 0-delay [[Lead Zeppelin]], or returning a valuable Monkey. | |||
