'''Jungle's Bounty Druid''' is a [[Magic]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. While in play, it restores 10 health for the player's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] for each [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] earned, including the Gold from the start of each [[turn]]. If the player earns more Gold than they can hold, it does not heal from any excess Gold, only the Gold the player actually keeps. It cannot raise the Hero's health above the starting amount (usually 500). It can prevent a fatality from [[Avalanche (BCS)|Avalanche]](s) if its life heal exceeds these life losses.

*With Jungle's Bounty, rushing an opponent is difficult. By round 10, players using one Jungle's Bounty Druid will end up healing at least 100 health per turn, assuming they do not overflow in gold. Any competent deck can bypass or outpace the Jungle's Bounty Druid's life regeneration. It's also very expensive for early rounds while dealing minimal damage, and competent control decks don't need its healing.

**Compared to [[Quick Break]], Jungle's Bounty Druid needs time to gain value and is vulnerable to removals, and the guaranteed healing from Quick Break is preferred against aggressive decks.

*A player overrelying on Jungle's Bounty can be overwhelmed by dealing 500 or more damage in a single turn, assuming they lack a way of dealing with swarms, zero delay strategies, or high-health bloons. [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]] is the most susceptible against this, since she lacks any Bloon-damaging abilities or signature cards.  

*While somewhat strong against Tempo, Jungle's Bounty Druid is not effective against heavy Tempo cards like [[Lead Zeppelin]] and [[Golden Blimp]], and attempting to leak a 250+ Health Bloon may make it vulnerable to a [[Double Trouble (BCS)|Double Trouble]] finisher. Competent OTK decks also have ways to bypass the Hero's max health, and anything that lowers max health (e.g. [[Life Drain Bloon]]) weakens the value of Jungle's Bounty Druid.

*Jungle's Bounty has many weaknesses to both removals and very high-health Bloons. [[Bed Time]] is the cheapest removal, and most removals except [[Expert Negotiator]] are cheaper than Jungle's Bounty.

*Aggro decks that can rush quick enough will prevent Jungle's Bounty from gaining value, to the point that cheap removals aren't necessary.

*Having more than one Jungle's Bounty can limit the capability to defend directly against rushes as more Monkey slots are occupied. However, in slow-paced [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] Stage 2 ("Avalanche") decks, having multiple Jungle's Bounties is essential to handle the final phase, as [[Avalanche (BCS)|Avalanche]]s deal excessive chip damage per round.

**For example, multiple [[MOAB (BCS)|MOAB]] and [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]] cards offer constant pressure to the opponent and constantly supplying Bloontonium to the player. Per Gold Spent cards like [[Extra-Super Monkey]] and [[Golden Blimp]] also offer a way to use as much Gold as possible.

*Gold generation of any kind, such as [[Banana Farm (BCS)|Banana Farm]], can accelerate life healing from Jungle's Bounty Druid.
