==Deck-building==

The most important element of building a deck is having a specific gameplan in mind. Not all viable decks fall into ~~a clear~~ archetype, but many do because they have clear plans for setting up wins that they can consistently execute. The key is not to pick cards that are good in a vacuum, but to pick cards that can execute a plan and/or work with other cards in your deck. For example, [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s are good cards, but they are rarely useful in control decks built to win in the late game by pushing large Bloons, and will often be wastes of card draws in those decks. Control decks will want to run cards that can enable those large Bloon pushes, like scalers to survive for a long time and [[Expert Negotiator]] to weaken the opponent's ~~offenses~~.

It is important to consider the number of copies of each card in a deck. More copies means a card can be drawn more consistently, but also that it is more likely to be drawn when you don't need it. In general:
