*ULTRA Rare Power unlike [[In Our Darkest Hour...|In Our Darkest Hour…]] can draw Ultra Rare Bloons and Powers, while also drawing one more due to its second charge. Although it can draw more cards than [[In Our Darkest Hour...|In Our Darkest Hour]], Ultra Rare Bloons and Powers are often much less needed urgently. The double draw still may be beneficial in decks that need or have many Ultra Rares. | *ULTRA Rare Power unlike [[In Our Darkest Hour...|In Our Darkest Hour…]] can draw Ultra Rare Bloons and Powers, while also drawing one more due to its second charge.

*Expensive Ultra Rares (mainly those costing more than 10 Gold) can all be drawn from this card and due to their high costs, can often fill up your hand without an easy way to get rid of them. Notably, anything costing more than 17 Gold (e.g. [[Bloonsday Device (BCS)|Bloonsday Device]], [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]], [[CRRROD]]) cannot be played on the same turn even at max Gold without other Gold supplements. | *Expensive Ultra Rares (mainly those costing more than 10 Gold) can all be drawn from this card and due to their high costs, can often fill up your hand without an easy way to get rid of them.

For Version 6.4, ULTRA Rare Power was buffed in a different manner to [[In Our Darkest Hour...]] to avoid duplicating scope, giving a new specialization that lets it draw more Ultra Rares instead of having a better early-game potential.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s|title=6.4 Tester Commentary - Bloons Card Storm|publisher=YouTube|author=OdysseyTOS}}</ref> The latter card was instead more specialized for early-game usage of Ultra Rare Monkeys.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> A proposal to make ULTRA Rare Power cost less but do nothing to In Our Darkest Hour was rejected, citing that former card is more purposeful for cycling through Ultra Rares, while the latter is niche for tutoring specific Ultra Rare Monkeys in faster-paced decks.<ref name="smartpersan-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1w0bv5m/changes_that_didnt_make_it_into_64/|title=|publisher=Reddit, r/bloonscardstorm|author=u/SmartPersan}}</ref> | |||
