~~The~~ '''Mine Supervisor''' is a [[Support]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in version 3.0. At the start of each turn, it generates 1 [[Bloontonium]] per Miner-type Monkey ([[Bloontonium Miner]]s and Mine Supervisors) on the player's side, including itself.

'''Mine Supervisor''' is a [[Support]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|3.0}}. At the start of each turn, it generates 1 [[Bloontonium]] per Miner-type Monkey ([[Bloontonium Miner]]s and Mine Supervisors) on the player's side, including itself.

==Tips==

~~{{strategy needed~~}}

*Mine Supervisor's main strength is in combination with Bloontonium Miners and other Mine Supervisors, ~~maximizing~~ Bloontonium ~~gains~~.

*Mine Supervisor's main strength is generating lots of Bloontonium in combination with Bloontonium Miners and other Mine Supervisors. It is an important Monkey for Heroes that depend on Bloontonium, such as [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]] and [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]].

**At maximum strength, 3 Mine Supervisors plus 2 Bloontonium Miners ~~give~~ 17 Bloontonium at the start of each round. ~~All Heroes except~~ [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]] ~~and~~ [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]] ~~will guarantee to reach full Bloontonium with that setup~~.

*With 3 copies of both Bloontonium Miner and Mine Supervisor, getting their Bloontonium production going in the early game is fairly consistent since the odds of not getting at least one of them in the opening hand after 3 mulligans is very low.

*The lone Mine Supervisor is simply a more expensive ~~but rarer~~ Bloontonium Miner with much better damage, but no immediate Bloontonium gain. As a Rare, it is also a candidate for [[Rare Power]].

*The optimal combination of miners (3 Mine Supervisors plus 2 Bloontonium Miners) gives 17 Bloontonium at the start of each round. This is enough to generate full Bloontonium or close to full (for [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]], [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]], [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]], and [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]]) in a single turn.

*~~Mine Supervisor's DPT is~~ much ~~better than the~~ [[Crossbow Monkey]] ~~for the same cost~~, ~~and~~ without ~~any downtime between rounds~~. ~~However, the Crossbow Monkey is an Uncommon and has a larger burst, plus~~ [[~~Super Monkey Fan Club~~ (BCS)|~~Super Monkey Fan Club~~]] ~~synergy~~.

*The lone Mine Supervisor is simply a more expensive Bloontonium Miner with much better damage, but no immediate Bloontonium gain. As a Rare, it is also a candidate for [[Rare Power]].

*Mine Supervisor ~~does enough damage~~ to ~~one~~-~~shot~~ a ~~[[Red Bloon (BCS)~~|~~Red Bloon]], even on Dark Castle~~. ~~If wanting~~ to ~~use it during~~ a ~~[[Red Bloon Apopalypse]]~~ to ~~clog the opponent's queue, not letting this~~ Miner ~~attack is usually better if there's no other bloons~~.

*This card does a moderate amount of damage per turn. The Bloontonium generation gives it much more utility, and can consistently attack Bloons each round despite reduced burst damage compared to things like [[Crossbow Monkey]].

*While its damage per turn is decent, it still struggles against Aggro decks without additional assistance. Aggro decks should swarm early or release strong Bloons such as [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] to make early Miners more difficult to survive.

*Players that struggle against Mine Supervisors later on are advised to run high health Bloons to force the opponent to react to them with other cards instead of passively maximize Bloontonium.
