'''Ability Ban''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in version 2.0. It prevents both the player and the opponent from using their [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]]'s abilities, including passive abilities, until the end of the player's next turn, when the player presses the "end turn" button. This card can be played while the effect is still active, though nothing happens other than consuming the card and [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]].

The player can play multiple copies of this card on the same turn, though the other copies do nothing other than consuming the card and [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]].


While active, big red text that reads "BANNED" on a translucent black rectangle will overlay the ability menus of both players.

*Ability Ban can be used in combo decks to shut down [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora]] in the late game. This is particularly handy when going against Adora and your deck heavily involves {{Hover|OTK|One-turn "killing" against an opponent.}} strategies.

**If you go Adora yourself and are defending from a large rush with Sun Shield, note the opponent's most likely deck archetype, and avoid exceeding leak amount if the opponent is midrange. Versus combo decks, be the aggressor and overwhelm the opponent before they can build their wincon.

**Players can combine with multiple [[Quick Ready]] on the same turn as an Ability Ban to prevent the opponent from defending against rushes, especially against Adora's Sun Shield.

**Obyn has little effect from Ability Ban when he is not going to use his actives. Obyn control decks may use Ability Ban to outlast other Hero decks.
*Despite primarily being a hard counter to Adora, Ability Ban can be used to slow down other Heroes, such as [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]'s Flame Strike or [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Rad Bloon Time.

*For [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]], this card has the beneficial effect of increasing the Bloontonium he gains from played Bloons, since it disables the Bloontonium penalty from his passive ability.

*There's not much reason to equip more than one Ability Ban in a deck, as its main strength is in conjunction with a finisher, and it has too many downsides elsewhere.

*As there's no visual for an active Ability Ban after the card is played, check the card history. Also, some Heroes have different poses<!--e.g. adora sunshield hand out like biden blast pose, quincy hold bow with arrow instead of at left hip--> if their passive is present or not.
