'''Accident at the Lab''' is | '''Accident at the Lab''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Advanced Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It places [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]s on all [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] spaces on the opponent's side. | ||
==Appearance== | |||
The card artwork depicts an [[Alchemist Monkey (BCS)|Alchemist]] staring worriedly at a shattered glass beaker that spilled acid onto the floor. The background is a cobwebbed room with two shelves parallel, each lined with a variety of laboratory containers and books. | |||

*Accident At The Lab is similar to [[Spike Storm!]] with a few key differences. The [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pools]] carry over between rounds and don’t naturally expire, making Accident useful if Bloons are popped by it, as the [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pools]] will stay on the track. Accident At The Lab as a tradeoff for the lingering effect has less damage in a single turn, as unlike [[Spike Storm (BCS)|Spike Storm’s]] potential 60 damage, the max amount Accident At The Lab can deal to one Bloon is 30 per turn, even if you have multiple copies. For 7 Bloontonium, the effect can be good but is often very pricey to afford, even for Bloontonium powers. | |||
*Decks that frequently send Bloons may find this card useful, however do keep in mind that other Bloontonium costing cards have stronger effects. Using cards like [[Mass Detonation]], [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]], or [[Bloon Redirect]] will often be a better idea, due to their power generally better matching their Bloontonium cost. | |||

For Version 6.4, Accident At the Lab was proposed to have its cost reduced to 5 Bloontonium, but has resulted in being a little bit too efficient, in addition to avoiding a case where it is always run in every aggro deck, just like [[Mass Detonation (BCS)|Mass Detonation]], another Bloontonium card that players wanted to avoid becoming dominant.<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> The cost reduction was decreased to cost 6 Bloontonium so that it'd not make the Power a mandatory card in aggro decks but still good enough for inclusion in aggro.<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><ref name="smartpersan-6.4" /> | |||
