~~{{Outdated~~|~~4 cost likely makes the card very viable now~~}}

*Unlike [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]] which has the goal of clogging the opponent's Bloon queue at the cost of clogging your own, Red Bloon Storm puts the user at a direct disadvantage for 4 Gold. Playing this card slows down aggression, so it must be used with swarm synergies like [[Bloon Embiggen]] or [[Bolstered Bloon]] to be worth it. It's very risky in aggro, and players can take advantage of this.

*Unlike [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]] which has the goal of clogging the opponent's Bloon queue at the cost of clogging your own, Red Bloon Storm ~~accomplishes virtually nothing and~~ puts the user at a direct disadvantage for ~~6 gold~~. Due to the nerf to Red Bloon increasing its delay from 1 to 2, the ~~reds serve little purpose on your side of the board,~~ clog the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]], and ~~are~~ easily popped with splash damage or other cheap board clearing powers like [[Spike Storm!]] or [[Firestorm (BCS)|Firestorm]].

*Due to the nerf to Red Bloon increasing its delay from 1 to 2, the Reds will clog the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]], and they can be easily popped with splash damage or other cheap board clearing powers like [[Spike Storm!]] or [[Firestorm (BCS)|Firestorm]].

**It still pairs well with [[Bloon Embiggen]], ~~however,~~ spamming Greens and Yellows ~~is more viable in aggro~~ since ~~Reds and Blues got a delay nerf in~~ 3.4.

*Red Bloon Storm pairs well with [[Bloon Embiggen]], but still bad compared to spamming Greens and Yellows since the version 3.4 Red delay nerfs. If none of the eight Reds are damaged at all, Bloon Embiggen does enough damage to cause an OTK, dealing 520 damage.
