Rare Power is an Advanced Power card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 2.0. It draws a random Rare-rarity card from the player's deck. If the player's hand is full and a two-charge Rare Power is used, or if no Rare cards remain in the deck, the card is consumed without triggering the effect.
The card artwork depicts a Wizard Monkey creating another card, which is glowing yellow.

- For an Uncommon card, Rare Power guarantees any of the Rare rarity cards, allowing to cycle through vital Rares sooner but at the cost of Gold. It's not particularly valuable compared to Pick cards and traditional draw cards; many players rely on multiple Rares, increasing difficulty for Rare Power to isolate a wincon from Rares alone, Rare Power encourages a full hand, and is not efficient in early-game.
- Quincy users tend to prefer Archer's Instinct, which also has two charges and costs 2 Gold each, but the player can choose a card instead of only drawing Rares.
- Most players tend to equip this with the incentive of speeding up wincons, or gathering removals or board clears (the majority of popular removals and board clears are Rares).
- The biggest incentive for Rare Power is Quick Ready, which works well in a lot of strategies.
- For board clears, Thunder Druid and Super Monkey Storm are frequently used Rares for dispatching high-HP swarms. Spike Storm! and Firestorm are still good draws.
- A lot of popular removal cards are Rares, including: Return to Sender, Shrink, Expert Negotiator, Ghost Monkey.
- For OTK decks, there are multiple cards that may benefit from this including: Double Trouble, MOAB Construction Facility.
- Having too many Rare Powers in a deck can fill the hand often with the drawn Powers. Drawing all three Rare Powers at once is bad, because they'll easily get stuck in your hand, wasting the extra draws.
- Like most drawing cards, it encourages a full hand, thus it's not suitable for The Eternal decks.
- Like the White Bloon, if wanting to maximize card draws, make sure to have 7 or less cards in your hand before playing a Rare Power that has 2 charges.
