*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. | *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. | ||

**[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] OTK decks often keep their Bloontonium at 10 if they are preparing for an OTK with [[Rad Bloon]].

* | *This card is generally outclassed by [[Haunting Night]] as a Bloontonium drainer, which is slightly more expensive but drains a lot more Bloontonium and also gives it to the player. Since this card's best use is countering control and OTK decks, its weak damage output isn't very relevant. | ||
* | *When playing 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. | ||
