Economy Drain is an Advanced Power card in Bloons Card Storm introduced in version 6.0. It reduces both players' economy by up to 3. Economy cannot go lower than 0. This card can be played if economy of both players are already at 0 but will do nothing except consume the card.
The card artwork depicts Monkeys in business suits reacting to a stock market crash. Papers are thrown everywhere, most screens feature charts that have a downward trend, and the monkeys have mixed reactions.
