~~The~~ '''Signal Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|2.0}}. ~~When played, the player~~ draws a Large Bloon card. If no Large Bloons are left in ~~their~~ deck, this effect does not trigger.

'''Signal Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|2.0}}. It starts with 50 [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]] and draws a Large Bloon card when played. If no Large Bloons are left in the player's [[deck]], this effect does not trigger.

The card art depicts the Signal Bloon attracting a [[ZOMG (BCS)|ZOMG]] in the night.

==Tips==

*~~The~~ Signal Bloon as a ~~bloon~~ is rather insignificant, having a poor delay~~-to-health ratio~~, but its ability to ~~guarantee pulling~~ out a Large ~~Bloon~~ is quite valuable~~. Its cost~~ and ~~multiple charges makes it mainly~~ for ~~starting a Large Bloon spam strategy~~.

*Signal Bloon as a Bloon is rather insignificant, having poor health relative to its delay and cost, but its ability to pull out Large Bloons is quite valuable for improving the consistency of certain decks:

**~~It's still a poor choice for guaranteeing an early~~ Large ~~Bloon~~, ~~even for specifically drawing a~~ [[Strengthenator]], ~~because of its high cost~~ and ~~weak bloon stats~~.

**Blimp spam decks, which need [[MOAB (BCS)|MOAB]]s and [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]]s in time for the mid-game.

**Decks that want to draw Ultra Rare Large Bloons, like [[Strengthenator]] or [[ARBITR]].

*Signal Bloon doesn't become completely useless if the player already drew their Large Bloons, since it still gives [[Bloontonium]] and a 100 health sponge, which is useful in tempo decks.
