~~The~~ '''Clever Yellow Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. When played, if the previous card played by the player was a [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]], it restores up to 80 health for the player's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]].

'''Clever Yellow Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. When played, if the previous card played by the player was a [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]], it restores up to 70 health for the player's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]].

The card art depicts a Clever Yellow Bloon healing [[Striker Jones]] with a white bandage at the High Finance map from ''Bloons Card Storm''.

==Tips==

*Clever Yellow Bloon can add ~~tempo to~~ aggro ~~if followed previously by a Monkey card~~. The only ~~downside is 10~~ less HP than a normal [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] and ~~higher rarity (Rare instead of Common)~~, but it can be equipped alongside normal Yellows to increase likelihood of drawing Yellows.

*Clever Yellow Bloon can add both pressure and healing, being suitable for both aggro and control decks. The only major downsides are 20 less HP than a normal [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] and 30 less heal per card compared to [[Quick Break]] if using the Clever function, but it can be equipped alongside normal Yellows to increase likelihood of drawing Yellows.

*[[~~Bomb Bloon~~]]~~s are~~ recommended, as the [[Bomb ~~Shooter~~ (BCS)|Bomb ~~Shooter~~]]s ~~they create are cheap~~ (~~only~~ 2 ~~Gold~~), and ~~conveniently with 2 charges~~ to ~~activate~~ the Clever ~~effect~~ up ~~to twice~~.

*Using multi-charge Monkey cards such as [[Barrel of Monkeys]] is recommended with Clever Yellows, for more opportunities to trigger the Clever function.

~~<!--~~

**[[Bomb Bloon (BCS)|Bomb Bloon]]s or [[Rang Bloon (BCS)|Rang Bloons]] can be sent to produce up to 2 monkey cards.

*In [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s, Clever Yellow is a great choice for healing; this mode encourages a Monkey-heavy deck.

*Clever Yellow is most effective in [[Rad Bloon]] OTK decks being able to heal and gain bloontonium while triggering [[Zee Jay|ZJ's]] passive twice if played on seperate turns.

*Like all Clever Bloons, check the card history while playing the game to verify if your last played card was actually a Monkey.

*Not using the Clever function should only be used if certain that the extra 110 Health 1-delay Bloon would cause a major threat to the opponent's side, or if your Hero already has high Health and only wanted to gain Bloontonium for important thresholds (e.g. [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia the Amazing]]'s Act of Power, [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]]'s Sacrificial Totem), or if building up [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Rad Tokens is more important.

==Update history==

{{BCS change list by name|Clever Yellow Bloon}}-->

==Development==

This card originally had 30 Health heal to the Hero upon activating the Clever effect. However, when the update was released, this was increased to 80 Health. The old stats were shown in the April 23rd 2025 dev diary.<ref name="April 23rd 2025" />

During the Version 5.2 playtest, Ninja Kiwi proposed a nerf to the Clever Yellow's Health to 100, but has since been changed to 110 after feedback from the community playtesters. The proposed nerf to the Clever function's Hero heal was unchanged.
