'''Return to Sender''' (called '''Return 2 Sender''' in the beta tests) is an Advanced [[Power (BCS)|Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It removes a target [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] or [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] and returns it to the owner's hand. It can be used on both the player's cards and the opponent's. Using this card on the opponent while they have a full hand will delete the targeted card entirely. Currently, Return to Sender is the only way to add certain cards that cannot be added to a deck by default, namely the [[Undead Bloon]], [[Undead MOAB]], and [[Baby Monkey]]. The card art depicts [[Adora]], who was not implemented as a hero during the beta tests.
'''Return to Sender''' ('''Return 2 Sender''' in the beta tests) is an [[Power (BCS)|Advanced Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It removes a target [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] or [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] from the board and returns it to the owner's hand. It can be used on either player's cards. It removes all stat changes from the target. Using it on an opponent's card while their hand is full will delete the card instead.
*For Monkeys, the target loses all changes to ATK, ammo (including [[Temporary Ammo]]), delay, and additional keywords.
*For Bloons, the target loses all changes to delay, Health, [[Armor]], [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]], status effects, and additional keywords.
 
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.


==Tips==
==Tips==
*This card resets all stat bonuses of the target Bloon or Monkey. This is especially useful to remove high-health Bloons that are about to leak from play. Likewise, this can nullify an opponent's Monkeys with high ramping, such as [[Wizard Monkey (BCS)|Wizard Monkey]], [[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]], and [[Heart of Vengeance Druid]].

*Return to Sender's versatility is the most powerful aspect of the card. It can fit in almost any deck because of how useful it is in almost any scenario or versus any deck archetype. It can be used to remove dangerous Bloons that are about to leak, nullify Monkeys and their buffed effects, re-play your own cards, or, if the opponent has a full hand, have all of these effects fully remove the card instead of just putting it back in their hand. Its removal effect can initiate a wincon, such as removing an enemy [[ARBITR]] or to perform certain OTK combos where a single Monkey is preventing OTK.
**Aggro may use this card to stop [[ARBITR]] or to remove a slow dangerous Bloon.
*This card is useful to remove high-health Bloons that are about to leak, and counter scaling Bloons like [[Bolstered Bloon]], [[Extractor Bloon]], and [[The Eternal]]. Likewise, this can nullify an opponent's Monkeys with high ramping, such as [[Wizard Monkey (BCS)|Wizard Monkey]], [[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]], and [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]], plus Monkeys boosted by permanent buffs such as [[Try this!]].
*This card is effective for OTK and Burn decks by being able to remove [[Defender]]s or other vital defensive monkeys like [[Corvus Academy of Arts]].
*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.
**[[Adora (BCS)|Adora]] players seeking to recycle or reuse their own Monkeys can use [[Salvation]], which is cheaper and has additional benefits, while saving Return to Sender for other uses.
*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 (BCS)|Grand Saboteur]] and [[MOAB Eliminator (BCS)|MOAB Eliminator]].
*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.
*Return to Sender can be used to open up a slot for another friendly Monkey, or to add room for a stolen Monkey via [[Expert Negotiator]].

*Monkeys with On Play effects can be replayed if removed by Return to Sender. Of these Monkeys, this is best used for [[Thunder Druid]].
*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.
*If played while the affected player's hand is full, the card will not return. So, for this case, it essentially would be a cheaper [[Shrink]] without the [[Baby Monkey]].
*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.
