*Unlike [[Bed Time]], the cheaper and less rare alternative, Shrink has no restriction for ~~neutralising~~ an opponent's Monkey.

*Unlike [[Bed Time]], the cheaper and less rare alternative, Shrink has no restriction for neutralizing an opponent's Monkey.

**Good candidates for Monkeys outside of Bed Time range include: [[Super Monkey (BCS)|Super Monkey]], most Monkeys that can ramp up their Attack Power (e.g. high-powered [[Wizard Monkey (BCS)|Wizard Monkey]]s, [[Spike-o-Pult (BCS)|Spike-o-Pult]], [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]]), [[Dire Wolf]], high-damage Defenders (such as [[Elite Defender (BCS)|Elite Defender]]), and most Ultra Rares.

**~~If bad luck cannot draw a~~ Bed Time~~, Shrink might be~~ worth it ~~against a Monkey regardless~~. Examples include: [[Jungle's Bounty Druid]], [[Prince of Darkness (BCS)|Prince of Darkness]].

**Candidates for Bed Time are still worth it. Examples include: [[Jungle's Bounty Druid]], [[Prince of Darkness (BCS)|Prince of Darkness]].

*The Baby Monkey generated still takes up a Monkey slot, which prevents the opponent from moving the player's Monkeys to their side with [[Expert Negotiator]], unless they first free up their own Monkey slot with cards ~~(e.g. [[Return to Sender]] or [[Favored Trade]])~~ or Adora's sacrifice. Likewise, the Baby Monkey could interrupt Monkeys that depend on positioning, such as [[Monkey Village (BCS)|Monkey Village]].

**On the other hand, a Baby Monkey still counts as a Monkey, so it'd still be a fodder for Adora's Ultimate Sacrifice or [[Total Transformation Monkey]].

*Shrink can be used to waste a boosted Monkey; it is a counter to monkey-buffing Power cards such as [[Try this!]].

**If suspecting a Shrink, spread boosts across multiple Monkeys, and don't always buff the strongest Monkey.
