==Tips==

*A Zebra Bloon as a Bloon ~~isn’t~~ much of a threat with its relatively low stats, but the dual card draw effects allows for more total draws in a single card (up to 4 per Zebra card, the most amount out of any single card), in addition to generating a lot of [[Bloontonium]]. However, the cost and draw power makes it hard to use in the early-game and more prone to bricking. It's more often useful for the late game where it's more affordable and cards may be played more often.

*[[White Bloon (Bloons Pop!)|White Bloon]], [[Black Bloon (BCS)|Black Bloon]], [[Clever Green Bloon]], and/or [[Pick]] cards should substitute Zebra Bloon in decks that don’t intend to go into the lategame.

*OTK decks may find that Zebra bricks their hand too easily in comparison to other cards. Zebra is best used in full on Control decks that ~~don’t~~ require holding as many cards in their hand.

*OTK decks may find that Zebra bricks their hand too easily in comparison to other cards. Zebra is best used in full on Control decks that don't require holding as many cards in their hand; in fact, some of those decks can afford to run only Zebras and a few other Bloon cards as their only Bloontonium for the whole match.

*The cost of a Zebra is enough for some important thresholds for Heroes, notably [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn Greenfoot]] unlocking his Nature's Shield immediately with one card, and all Heroes with 18 max Bloontonium ([[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]] and [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]) only need 10 Bloontonium (usually two 5 Gold Bloon cards) + Zebra.

*Unlike [[White Bloon (BCS)|White Bloon]], [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloon]], and [[Clever Green Bloon]], the Zebra Bloon is an Uncommon, and thus cannot be drawn by [[Rare Power]].
