More could be said about the BSabo. Fun fact: this card was formerly seen as incredibly niche, but then players like Smart Persan and other BCST players got to see the true potential of this card without NK feeding it buffs.

*Bloontonium Saboteur assists in limiting Bloontonium of the opponent, suppressing their defensive capabilities. 4 lost Bloontonium may seem minor, but for certain Heroes it's a big deal-breaker.
*It has 5 less Attack Power than [[Monkey Investigator]] but also disadvantages the opponent by potentially preventing them from accessing important hero abilities. For instance, Bloontonium Saboteur could be played while the opponent tries to pop bloons with [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s Sun Shield.
**For [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s Sun Shield, it can prevent one or two Sun Shields depending on Adora's Bloontonium (e.g. dropping from 14/15 Bloontonium prevents two Sun Shields, or one with 15/15).
**4 less Bloontonium isn't significant, only 1 more than the 3 Gold for this Monkey, but can guarantee 1 less Sun Shield usage from an enemy Adora on your turn.
**[[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn Greenfoot]] control decks tend to equip few cards in their deck, since they'd only focus on having just enough Bloontonium to unlock Nature's Shield.
**[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] OTK decks often keep their Bloontonium at 10 if they are preparing for an OTK with [[Rad Bloon]]. Playing BSabo at the right moment can force enemy Zee Jay to play more Bloons to get back to 10 Bloontonium.
*It has 5 less Attack Power than [[Monkey Investigator]] but also disadvantages the opponent by potentially preventing them from accessing important hero abilities.
*Against this, simply use all your Bloontonium, making its On Play effect useless. Or cancel out the effect next turn by having Bloontonium production; 1 [[Mine Supervisor]] and 2 [[Bloontonium Miner]]s, or two Mine Supervisors, give the same amount.

*Bloontonium Saboteur is the only Military Monkey other than Mortars to have 1 delay. This is significant for [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]], as it opens opportunities for his [[Orders Received]] and [[War Bonds]].
