'''Push the Initiative''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. It ~~stuns~~ a target Bloon, and if the player has 0 Gold after playing it, it summons a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] if the player's side has space on their Bloon tracks. It can only be added to [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]] decks.

'''Push the Initiative''' is a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. It [[Stunned|stun]]s a target Bloon, and if the player has 0 Gold after playing it, it summons a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] if the player's side has space on their Bloon tracks. It can only be added to [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]] decks.

The card artwork portrays Striker Jones standing near a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] and creating a blast onto a [[Blue Bloon (BCS)|Blue Bloon]]. The scene is rocky and set at dusk.

==Tips==

*~~It's 1 Gold more expensive than~~ [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s [[Stunning Shot]] ~~with only~~ 1 charge~~, but~~ the ability to summon a Yellow for free when ~~running~~ out of Gold ~~makes it worth it~~ for ~~aggro~~. ~~However~~, Striker Jones is not a ~~good aggro hero~~.

*Push The Initiative serves a similar function to [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s [[Stunning Shot]], it trades 1 charge for the ability to summon a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] for free when out of Gold.

*You can use the [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] to put on pressure while simultaneously stunning an enemy Bloon to relieve a bit of pressure on yourself, making Push The Initiative a decent choice for Aggro decks. Do keep in mind that Striker Jones is not a great Aggro hero, so building around that may not be the greatest choice.

*Striker Jones is ill suited for Aggro and the Yellow generally isn’t very threatening, making this card not very strong in most decks. The [[Zero Gold]] condition also harms its use since it has a more specific activation than other cards.

==Development==

During the Version 5.2 playtest, Ninja Kiwi proposed a buff to Push the Initiative by decreasing its Gold cost from 3 to 2, which was left unchanged for the update.
